Spinal Endoscopy Minimally Invasive Surgery Cost in Bogotá, Colombia
Consider minimally invasive spinal endoscopy surgery for the management of herniated discs and spinal problems with Dr Farfán.
The goal of spinal endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery is to resolve spinal issues such as herniated discs or lumbar spinal stenosis caused by osteoarthritis, which results in pain in the legs and lower back.
Spinal endoscopy is one of the most advanced minimally invasive surgeries for addressing specific spinal pathologies.
There are different techniques for performing spinal endoscopy for minimally invasive surgery, including bi-portal and mono-portal spinal endoscopy, each offering advantages for certain pathologies, with the main indications being herniated discs and spinal stenosis or narrowing of the nerve canal.
Spinal endoscopy surgery is a minimally invasive procedure indicated for patients who have not improved with pain-killers, physical therapy, or spinal injections like epidurals.

Spinal Endoscopy Minimally Invasive Surgery: What is its effectiveness?
Spinal endoscopy surgery is highly effective for patients with an accurate diagnosis and appropriate indication, who have diligently tried non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, weight loss, and analgesic and anti-inflammatory treatment with no improvement.
In simple terms, patients who have not responded to non-surgical treatments can benefit from spinal endoscopy surgery to alleviate pain and improve their ability to walk and engage in physical activities.
The procedure typically takes about two hours, and when performed by qualified professionals, it generally produces excellent results and leads to greater patient satisfaction than continuing non-surgical treatments for more than two months.
The effectiveness of spinal endoscopy can be affected by various factors, including the patient's lifestyle habits, weight, other degenerative changes or issues in different areas of the spine that continue to cause pain, as well as a lack of physical therapy, among other factors.
Following spinal endoscopy surgery, patients should uphold healthy lifestyle habits, control their weight, engage in spinal stretching, and muscle strengthening, and maintain regular physical activity.
After undergoing minimally invasive spinal endoscopy surgery, the patient will spend a few hours in the recovery room. They will be able to walk on the same day and will be discharged with instructions to rest.
During this observation period, the patient will gradually resume intake of liquids and food, and postoperative pain will be managed with intravenous medications. Additionally, the patient will receive prophylactic antibiotic treatment to prevent postoperative infections. Once at home, the patient should take necessary precautions to prevent falls and avoid bending or rotating the spine. In the first few days following the spinal endoscopy, the patient should stay in Bogotá, take the prescribed medications and antibiotics by Dr. Farfán, and follow the given instructions.
After a period (usually 15 days), the patient should restart physical therapy and resume simple activities that do not strain the spine. For international patients undergoing spinal endoscopy surgery in Bogotá, it is recommended to stay in the city for at least 5 to 8 days after the surgery. As the postoperative days progress and the patient's health improves with physical therapy, they can gradually resume physical and work activities approximately 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery.
Spinal Endoscopy Surgery: What is the procedure like?
International patients should arrive in Bogotá at least two days before the procedure to avoid complications due to the city's altitude.
Subsequently, the patient will be evaluated by an anesthesiology specialist in a pre-anesthesia assessment, including blood tests that must be approved.
The patient should arrive at the surgery room for the spinal endoscopy with a family member two hours before the procedure, having fasted for at least 8 hours. They should wear comfortable clothing and avoid bringing valuables.
Once in the surgery room, the patient will be anesthetized (general anesthesia) and positioned face-down on the operating table. Then, Dr. Farfán and his team will clean the area to be operated on and position the X-ray equipment (C-arm) to locate the site of the spinal endoscopic procedure.
Once the specialist identifies the affected disc or vertebral space, he will insert the endoscopy equipment through incisions smaller than 1 cm (one or two, depending on the chosen technique and the number of levels to be treated) and proceed to remove the herniated disc and decompress the spine under the vision of the spinal endoscopic camera.
At the end of the procedure, a small dressing will be applied to the back, and the patient will be transferred to the recovery area for close monitoring before being discharged.
