Endoscopic Spine Surgery—Herniated Disc from Prolonged Heavy Lifting

Back to Work the Day After Surgery
A 47-year-old patient with a herniated disc and nerve compression caused by prolonged heavy lifting suffered from debilitating back pain. The patient opted for 3D computer-assisted minimally invasive endoscopic surgery, requiring only a 1 cm incision. The procedure allowed for same-day mobility and discharge the following day, enabling the patient to return to work with minimal downtime.
