Endoscopic Surgery for Thoracic Disc Herniation
Question: Is endoscopic surgery possible for thoracic disc herniation?
Answer: Yes, endoscopic discectomy can be performed in some appropriately selected thoracic disc cases. However, it is not suitable for every patient; the decision is based on clinical and radiological findings.
“The literature emphasizes that only a small percentage of thoracic disc herniations require surgery, and those that do are selected cases.”
