Stitchless Endoscopic Spine Surgery for Sciatica & Slip Disc
By Dr. Alok Gupta (Chairman - Neurosurgery & Spine Institute)•June 28, 2026•7 min read
### What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica occurs when a herniated intervertebral disc leaks outwards and pinches the sciatic nerve root, sending burning electric shocks down the leg into the foot.
### The 7mm Keyhole Endoscopic Cure
Instead of open muscle-cutting spine operations, endoscopic spine surgeons at Yupiter Hospital insert a 7mm endoscopic tube directly to the nerve compression site under local anesthesia. The nerve-compressing disc fragment is retrieved under high-definition visualization.
### Recovery Expectation
Patients stand up, walk around the room within 4 to 6 hours, and return home the following morning without any spinal weakness.
