Surgeons at Northside Hospital have successfully completed the health system’s first ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery to treat back pain.
Dr. Vamsi Kancherla, orthopedic surgeon, completed the procedure May 22 at Northside Hospital Gwinnett using Arthrex endoscopic spine technology.
About endoscopic spine surgery: The technique uses a pencil-sized endoscope to access small areas of the spine through a tiny incision. This eliminates the need for the large incision required for traditional back surgery, minimizes disruption and damage to nearby muscles and reduces the need to remove bone.
