Transforaminal Endoscopic Discectomy in Mumbai – Dr. Nikhil Arbatti

Minimally Invasive Treatment for Slipped Disc and Nerve Compression by Dr. Nikhil Arbatti at Advanced Spine Care Clinic. 

What Is Transforaminal Endoscopic Discectomy?

Transforaminal endoscopic discectomy is an advanced minimally invasive spine surgery used to treat selected cases of lumbar disc herniation. Using a specialised endoscope and surgical instruments, the surgeon removes the disc material pressing on the affected nerve through a small incision.

Compared with conventional open surgery, this technique may reduce muscle and soft-tissue disruption in suitable patients. The choice of procedure depends on the location of the disc herniation, symptoms, and MRI findings.

When Is Endoscopic Discectomy Recommended?

Dr. Nikhil Arbatti evaluates patients who experience:

  • Herniated or slipped disc: Disc material presses on nearby spinal nerves.
  • Sciatica: Pain radiates from the lower back into the buttock and leg.
  • Nerve compression: A compressed nerve causes pain, tingling, or numbness.
  • Persistent leg pain: Symptoms continue despite appropriate non-surgical treatment.
  • Lumbar disc prolapse: A disc herniation causes significant nerve-related symptoms.

A detailed clinical examination and MRI assessment are necessary to determine whether this procedure is suitable.

Benefits of Transforaminal Endoscopic Discectomy

When clinically indicated, potential benefits include

  • Small incision with reduced tissue disruption.
  • Relief from disc-related nerve compression
  • Potentially less postoperative discomfort.
  • Early mobilisation and a shorter hospital stay in selected cases.
  • Gradual return to daily activities, depending on recovery.

Outcomes vary, and the procedure is not suitable for every type of disc herniation.
