About this procedure

A focused spine treatment pathway in Queretaro

Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses a small camera and specialized instruments to access the affected area through very small incisions. It is commonly considered for selected disc herniations, stenosis and nerve compression patterns.

Who may be a candidate?

A patient may be a candidate when symptoms such as leg pain, numbness, weakness or walking limitation correlate with imaging and when conservative care has not provided enough improvement.

Why consider Queretaro for this procedure?

Dr. Larrinua’s public profile highlights training in uniportal and biportal endoscopic spine techniques, including training in Germany and South Korea. Queretaro adds the recovery advantage of a modern, well-connected city with less friction for patients and companions.

Recovery planning for international patients

Patients need a plan for early walking, wound care, medication instructions, warning signs and follow-up. Bilingual coordination is especially important because small-incision surgery still requires precise postoperative understanding.

What patients should bring to the first review

  • Recent MRI, CT scan, X-rays or written radiology reports when available.
  • A short timeline of symptoms, prior injections, therapy, medications and previous surgeries.
  • A list of current medications, allergies and relevant medical conditions.
  • Clear goals for the consultation, including pain relief, mobility, return to work and travel timing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions can endoscopic spine surgery treat?

It may be used in selected cases of herniated disc, sciatica, spinal stenosis or foraminal narrowing, depending on imaging and clinical findings.

How large are the incisions?

Endoscopic techniques generally use very small incisions, but the exact approach depends on the technique and the patient’s anatomy.

Is endoscopic spine surgery outpatient?

Some cases may allow short-stay or outpatient-style recovery, while others require hospital observation. The decision depends on procedure complexity and patient risk.

Is it safe to fly after endoscopic spine surgery?

Return travel must be cleared by the surgeon. Timing depends on pain control, mobility, clot-risk assessment and the specific procedure performed.
