Endoscopic Discectomy Kennesaw, GA

Endoscopic Discectomy

Spinal disc damage due to trauma or degenerative disease is a common source of chronic back and neck pain. When a spinal disc is damaged, it can protrude, leak or bulge, causing pressure and inflammation, creating chronic pain. Repairing the damaged spinal disc can be completed with endoscopic discectomy. It is a minimally-invasive procedure that is available through Medici Spine & Pain at our Marietta surgical center.

Endoscopic discectomy is performed using a tiny incision at the location of the damaged spinal disc. Unlike conventional or open spine surgery, muscles and bone do not need to be cut or removed to repair the spinal disc. A small surgical port is created, and a tube is inserted to reach the targeted disc using x-ray guidance. Through this surgical tube, a tiny digital camera and surgical tools can be used to complete the discectomy or disc repair. The procedure usually takes less than an hour, and the patient can walk out of our surgical center a few hours later with only a small bandage covering their surgical incision.

Conditions Treated with Discectomy

The most common spinal discs to need repair are in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions. Bulging, torn or herniated discs can be repaired using specialized tools that can pass through the small surgical tubing. Our surgeons use x-ray fluoroscopy and the direct view of the endoscopic camera to perform the surgery, removing damaged disc material using laser techniques. Once completed, the incision can be closed with just a few stitches.

Endoscopic discectomy can repair damaged discs that have been the source of chronic pain without the risks of traditional surgery. There is a minimal amount of blood loss and scar tissue formed during this outpatient surgery, with a much quicker recovery.

If you have chronic back or neck pain that is caused by herniated, bulging or damaged spinal discs, come see us at Medici Spine & Pain. We will create a treatment plan to give you relief. If conservative treatment options are not effective, we offer minimally-invasive endoscopic discectomy at our state-of-art surgical center in Marietta.

Donna

To Dr. Sonny and all the staff at Marietta: What a wonderful appointment I had at Medici for epidural injections! I can't say enough about Jana and Sarah and the gentleman in the back and front office personnel also. They were so caring and friendly; it was quite entertaining while waiting for my turn! They have such a pleasant camaraderie together and engage the patients in conversation too. They bring a very comfortable atmosphere to all. It sure helped pass the time and alleviate any anxiety one might have. The best part is I walked out with NO PAIN. However, later I realized that was mostly due to the local anesthesia... Ha, ha on me! I know it is a temporary fix, but I will enjoy it as long as it is effective. I thank all who I've been in touch with during this journey. You're all awesome at all locations!! P.S. Jana and Sarah: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME ON AND OFF THOSE NARROW TORTUOUS BEDS!!!! It was my biggest fear!!! Blessings to all...."I'll be back!!"

Dr. Geiger is heaven sent. After one visit hearing my story of dealing with 13 years of awful pain from shingles, she changed my medications. That night I started the new medications and have remained pain free. I still use lidocaine patches but the new medications have made All the difference. She's deeply caring for her patients and thorough in her questions and examination. Too bad I didn't know of her earlier. She has changed my life and I thank God everyday she's in my life. I can't find enough words to praise her skills and thank her for being my caregiver. Apparently she has recently moved here from Florida and we are glad to have her here.

Dr. Dosanjh Patient

Dr. Dosanjh is extremely knowledgeable in his specialty with remarkable knowledge of anatomy and the causes of pain. His ability to diagnose the cause of pain and then provide a complete set of progressive options for resolution is superb. His friendly demeanor enhances the doctor-patient relationship.

Everyone in this office is TERRIFIC. Starting from the front office checking in, and going into the room for my visit with dr. Sonny Dosanjh. Dr. Sonny is EXCELLENT he really cares about his patients, he listens to what I have to say, does not interrupt me, he is very concerned about what is going on with me and my health concerns. He really cares. I would highly recommend this office to anyone! They really care and they are genuine. My PCP recommended Dr. Sonny and I'm ever so grateful for that

Dr. Dosanjh Patient

Thoroughly appreciated the medical services provided by Dr. Dosanjh. Dr. Dosanjh is very confident in his patient care and concern. I would definitely refer others and have been telling others about my experience at Medici Spine & Pain both Kennesaw and Buckhead. I wish he took my insurance, as I have injuries not related to my work incident for which I was seeing Dr. Dosanjh. Thank you so very much, Dr. Dosanjh! The staff is warm, welcoming and cheerful and most helpful.

Meredith

Dr. Dosanjh is a very smart, caring doctor who is highly skilled in his field. He spends whatever time is necessary to "hear" his patients and to explain the proper and best results course of action. I have a very complicated head and neck injury, so it was essential to me to have someone who truly listened with undivided attention, and thought outside the box when necessary. His staff is exemplary. They could not be more helpful and thoughtful. Lucy in particular is a gift of sunshine.

Jill C.

Dr. Sonny is the best! He has done more for me in 2 months than my previous doctor did in 14 years! If you truly want to get out of pain, then contact Dr. Sonny immediately! I just cannot reiterate how incredible a doctor he is! For that matter, his entire staff is warm and inviting! And to top it off, as a patient you get free use of their amazing gym. Highly, highly, highly recommend Dr. Sonny!
