Endoscopic Rhizotomy Overview:
Endoscopic rhizotomy is a procedure that is used to treat chronic pain in the back and legs. It is typically used for people who have not responded to other treatments, such as medications and physical therapy.During the procedure, the doctor uses an endoscope, a thin tube with a light and camera on end, to view the inside of the body. The endoscope is inserted through a small incision in the back. The doctor then uses a special tool to cut or cauterize the nerve roots that are causing the pain.Endoscopic rhizotomy is usually done as an outpatient procedure, meaning that the patient goes home the same day. It may be done under general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep during the procedure, or under local anesthesia, which means that the patient is awake but the area being treated is numbed.It may effectively reduce chronic pain in the back and legs. However, as with any medical procedure, there are risks and potential complications, such as bleeding, infection, and nerve damage. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with your doctor before deciding if it is right for you.
