Due to the introduction of high technologies into neurosurgical practice such kind of operations became possible. Endoscopic operations are considered high-class interventions with high cost. That is why medical institutions in many countries have not yet implemented this method. By the number of operations performed with this method, we are considered to be the leaders in our region. Over the past years, we have performed 1800 similar operations (through transforaminal approach). The advantage of this method is that they are done without incision, that is, soft tissues, back muscles or bone structures of the spine are not damaged. Operations are done with a special endoscope in diameter 8 mm, which is thinner than the diameter of a pen.

Unlike open surgeries with different names (microdiscectomy, microscopic operation, open surgery with endoscopic assistention), during our operations, the endoscope is inserted laterally from midline without damaging the back muscles.
