Treatment of herniated disc with minimally invasive endoscopy (DISC-FX)

Herniated Disc Treatment with Endoscopy

Herniated disc treatment with endoscopy is one of the safest and most advanced modern procedures to address disc problems and relieve back pain caused by disc inflammation. In this article, you will learn about the advantages and potential risks of endoscopic disc treatment.

Causes of Herniated Disc Issues

Many factors have led to the widespread occurrence of back pain and spinal problems, including prolonged improper sitting, lifting heavy objects incorrectly, and more. Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the condition, ranging from physical therapy and medication to non-surgical interventions and surgical procedures.

While multiple treatment methods exist, non-surgical approaches are often preferred. Among the most effective non-surgical techniques is the Minimally Invasive Disc-FX Procedure, introduced to Egypt by Dr. Mohamed Korra, a leading expert in this field. Dr. Korra continually stays updated with the latest medical advancements through participation in international conferences alongside top physicians and experts worldwide.

What is the Minimally Invasive Disc-FX Procedure?

The Disc-FX procedure is a minimally invasive technique used to access and treat damaged spinal discs without affecting surrounding tissues, nerves, or disc structure. Its primary goal is to effectively treat herniated discs and alleviate back pain.

Dr. Mohamed Korra's clinic was the first to introduce the Disc-FX technique in Egypt, known for its speed, safety, and proven effectiveness in lumbar herniated disc removal.

Who Needs the Minimally Invasive Disc-FX Procedure?

This technique may be recommended for patients with:

• Painful lumbar disc herniations.
• Small disc bulges and annular tears.
• Lumbar herniation accompanied by lower back or leg pain.
• Herniated discs causing mechanical nerve compression.
• Sciatica.
• Back pain from internal disc herniation (Discogenic Pain).

Steps of the Minimally Invasive Disc-FX Procedure

1. Local Anesthesia: The patient receives local anesthesia in a sterilized operating room.
2. Precision Needle Placement: A small needle is inserted into the disc under fluoroscopic guidance to ensure access to the herniated portion of the disc.
3. Herniated Disc Removal: A fine instrument is used to remove the herniated section of the disc causing pain.
4. Disc Cauterization: The treated area is cauterized to prevent future disc herniation or complications.

Recovery Time After Disc-FX

Patients can leave the clinic 30 minutes after the procedure and resume normal daily activities pain-free within 48 hours.

Benefits of Disc-FX Treatment

• Quick, Safe, and Easy: The procedure is efficient and minimally invasive.
• Permanent Solution: Provides long-term relief, not a temporary fix.
• Minimally Invasive: Requires only a small skin incision, no stitches needed.
• Painless: No significant discomfort post-procedure.
• Short Procedure Time: Minimal time required for completion.
• Local Anesthesia: General anesthesia is unnecessary.
• Rapid Recovery: Patients return to normal activities within three days.
• No Complications: No bleeding, infections, or other risks.
• Suitable for All Ages: Effective for elderly and obese patients.

Risks and Complications of Disc-FX

The Disc-FX procedure is highly safe and does not cause any complications. The small incision minimizes the risk of bleeding or infection, and there is no chance of postoperative infection.

Conclusion

To ensure effective herniated disc treatment and avoid recurrence, it is crucial to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Follow your doctor's advice, including:

• Losing excess weight.
• Avoiding heavy lifting.
• Maintaining proper sitting posture.
