endoscopic disc surgery does not - as is usual - remove the entire disc and replace it with a placeholder (cage, bone block or prosthesis), but only the herniated disc is removed under local anesthesia.
The natural mobility and stability of the spine is thus retained.
Ultimately, this intervertebral disc surgery (percutaneous nucleotomy) is performed in the same way as intervertebral disc surgery in the lumbar spine area, where only the herniated disc is removed and not the entire intervertebral disc is replaced by an artificial placeholder.
If severe leg pain and/or back pain and neurological symptoms cannot be controlled with conservative measures, surgical treatment is required. The aim of the endoscopic disc operation is to remove the urging disc tissue, i.e. only the herniated disc, and thus to relieve the pinched nerve spatially or to lay it completely free again.
We operate on a herniated disc endoscopically! With almost 10,000 endoscopic disc operations and over 20 years of experience , Dr. Schubert is not only a co-developer and further developer, but also the leading and most experienced spinal surgeon in endoscopic spinal surgery worldwide.
After 1 sentence about my complaints, the diagnosis was clear, which was also confirmed after viewing the recordings. Neither my orthopaedist nor the X-ray doctor (Nothing to operate on, do gymnastics.) had recognized the herniated disc. After the operation - 1 week later in the ATOS clinic, immediately free of symptoms, no more pain either. The absolute No. 1 for disc problems!
I had Mr. Schubert operate on me at the end of 2016, i.e. 6 years ago. After 6 years I am very satisfied with the lasting result and definitely recommend this practice.
