Procedure

This is a powerful approach option for treating all types of thoracic disc herniations while significantly minimizing collateral damage, blood loss, postoperative pain, and spinal cord manipulation.1-4 This is the only approach that offers an unobstructed view of the ventral thoracic canal without extensive bony resection and without requiring entry into the thoracic cavity.&nbsp;

Endoscopic Thoracic Transforaminal Discectomy

Child (D)

The traditional open approach for treating far lateral disc herniations at L5-S1 is challenging. Alternatively, the transforaminal endoscopic approach lands directly at the far lateral zone and requires little or no facet resection to achieve decompression.

Endoscopic Far Lateral Transforaminal Lumbar Discectomy 

The endoscopic approach to interlaminar discectomies provides minimally invasive access to posterior herniations in the lower lumbar spine that may be difficult to reach through a transforaminal approach. Additionally, interlaminar discectomy results in less tissue and muscle disruption, faster recovery times, and a quicker return to activity than traditional open procedures.1-4 WishBone™ endoscopic instruments feature superior feel and improved ergonomics that facilitate inverted and retrograde usage with either hand.
