Endoscopic Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery is a technique that utilizes small incisions and an endoscope to treat brain and spine conditions. This approach is less invasive than traditional surgery, resulting in shorter hospital stays, reduced pain, and faster recovery times. Dr. Amit Mukherjee uses this method to treat conditions such as pituitary tumors, spinal disc herniations, and cerebrospinal fluid leaks. The precision and reduced invasiveness of endoscopic surgery offer significant benefits to patients.
