Very interested in knowing about microendoscopic diskectomy

Posted by Alex Tano

In Reply to: Re: I had a herniated disk at L5S1 - The surgury I had is called a microendoscopic diskectomy posted by patrick

About two months ago, I underwent an open surgery on my back.
But less than 1 month and a half, they found another disk groing out of the same spot
I had disks before the surgery.
From my friends in the states told me about this new Endoscopic Discectomy
and I am very interested in getting more info on this.
Doctors here in Korea say that this new method isn't suited for my condition
since I already went through one, and that it is dangerous to let a microscope down
my spine through nerves which might cause serious damage in my leg in result.
If anyone happens to know more about this, I'd like to hear it.
Thanks.
