Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Endoscopic Spine Surgery is an advanced minimally invasive technique used to treat many spinal disorders through a very small incision using a high-definition endoscopic camera and specialised instruments. Unlike conventional open spine surgery, this technique minimises muscle damage, reduces blood loss, and often allows faster recovery.

Dr. Abul Fazal Shohag is an Orthopaedic, Spine and Trauma Surgeon providing advanced endoscopic spine surgery for selected patients in Brahmanbaria, Dhaka, and across Bangladesh. Every patient is carefully evaluated to determine whether endoscopic surgery is the most appropriate treatment.
