Endoscopic discectomy in kdms Orthopedic Hospital
About the clinic
Endoscopic discectomy at kdms Orthopedic Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, offers a minimally invasive solution for herniated discs. This specialized procedure is performed at Thailand’s first dedicated orthopedic facility, which holds JCI accreditation for international safety standards. The treatment focuses on relieving nerve pressure with small incisions, allowing most patients to walk within one day of surgery.
Minimally Invasive Techniques
Surgeons at the hospital use two primary methods to access the spine. The uniportal endoscopy uses a single 8-12 mm camera to view the disc. The biportal endoscopy uses a smaller 4 mm camera through a separate port for increased visibility. Both methods help reduce muscle damage and pain after the operation. These techniques result in smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery.
Care Team and Expertise
The spine surgery department includes highly trained specialists who focus exclusively on back and neck conditions. Assoc. Prof. Rattalerk Arunakul, M.D., Assoc. Prof. Gun Keorochana, M.D., and Jirachai Pisutbenya, M.D. lead the surgical team. These surgeons use the hospital's dedicated orthopedic infrastructure to manage complex spinal cases. The facility's focus on a single specialty helps streamline the diagnostic and recovery process.
Recovery and Hospital Stay
Patients typically stay in the hospital for only one night. This short stay is possible because the endoscopic method causes less trauma to the body. Before the surgery, patients must provide an MRI and have a consultation with their surgeon. The recovery plan includes:
- Initial walking and pain relief within 24 hours of the procedure
- Physical therapy sessions to regain strength and mobility
- Follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process
- Quick return to daily activities due to the small incision size
