Selective Endoscopic Discectomy (SED) is a minimally invasive spine surgery technique that utilizes an endoscope to treat herniated, protruded, extruded, or degenerative discs that are a contributing factor to leg and back pain.
The endoscope allows the surgeon to use a keyhole incision to access the herniated disc.
Muscle and tissue are dilated rather than being cut when accessing the disc.
