Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat spinal conditions with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. Through small incisions, a camera and specialized instruments are inserted, allowing precise treatment of issues like herniated discs and spinal stenosis. This technique offers reduced pain, faster recovery, and quicker return to normal activities.

Dedicated to Patient Care
Prof. Daniel K. Park is a board certified orthopedic spine surgeon at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. He is currently a Professor in Orthopedic Spine Surgery and serves as Director of Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Spine Surgery at William Beaumont Hospital-Royal Oak.
Traditional open surgery typically requires a larger incision, muscle stripping, longer hospitalization and increased recovery time. The advantages of endoscopic procedures when compared to the traditional procedures include the following:
Lumbar foraminal pathology:
Biportal endoscopic spine
surgical approaches
Spinal endoscopic approaches, full-endoscopic or biportal, allow for access to various lumbar foraminal pathologies while preserving the integrity of back muscles and facet joints
Thoracic spine endoscopic
techniques
Endoscopic surgical options for treating thoracic spinal cord compression are discussed with two case reports, with emphasis on indications/contraindications and surgical techniques.
Dr. Park performed bi-portal endoscopic spine surgery to relieve intense back pain and help Zachary return to competitive football.
