    Dr. Sukdeb Datta is a pioneer in the new, minimally invasive spinal surgery technique called endoscopy discectomy. Here, Dr. Datta describes how endoscopy discectomy is used to access and repair all of the structures in the spinal column without extensive surgery. In addition, endoscopy discectomy offers a non-fusion alternative to patients who would otherwise require spondylosyndesis, and it is compatible with stem cell therapies. Dr. Datta also touches on the importance of provider and patient education.
