Our Process
Your Journey with Endoscopic Keyhole Spine Surgery
Expert care, without the wait. Here’s how we help you get answers and relief
Step 1
Specialist Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with Mr Irfan Malik, where your symptoms, history, and lifestyle are carefully reviewed. This helps determine if a keyhole approach is right for you.
Step 2
Advanced Imaging & Diagnosis
If necessary, we’ll arrange high-resolution MRI, CT, or X-ray scans to identify the precise cause of your pain. Using these, we confirm whether a disc herniation, stenosis, or nerve compression is present.
Step 3
Tailored Surgical Planning
If you’re a candidate for endoscopic keyhole surgery, we’ll design a minimally invasive surgical plan that targets only the affected area — preserving surrounding tissue and reducing recovery time.
Step 4
Recovery
The procedure is carried out through a tiny incision using endoscopic instruments under imaging guidance. Most patients return home the same day or after a short stay with less pain and quicker mobility

FAQs
Get the facts on Endoscopic Keyhole Spine Surgery
What is Endoscopic Keyhole Spine Surgery?
It’s a minimally invasive spinal procedure performed through a small incision using an endoscope (tiny camera) and specialised instruments. It allows precise treatment with less tissue damage and faster recovery.
How does Endoscopic Spine Surgery work?
The surgeon uses a high-definition camera and instruments inserted through a tiny incision to remove herniated disc material or relieve pressure on spinal nerves — all while preserving healthy tissue.
What conditions can it treat?
This procedure is commonly used for disc herniations, sciatica, spinal stenosis, foraminal narrowing, and nerve root compression in the cervical or lumbar spine.
What are the benefits compared to traditional surgery?
Am I a candidate for Endoscopic Spine Surgery?
If you have chronic back or leg pain due to a herniated disc or nerve compression, and conservative treatments haven’t worked, you may be a candidate. A consultation with a spine specialist is essential.
What is the recovery time?
Most patients resume light activities within a few days and return to work within 1–3 weeks, depending on the procedure and individual recovery.
