If you are experiencing persistent back pain, leg pain, sciatica, numbness, tingling, or symptoms related to a slipped disc or nerve compression, endoscopic spine surgery may be an option for selected patients. Dr. Dheeraj Batheja is a Senior Consultant – Ortho Spine Surgery at Artemis Hospitals, Gurugram, with 13+ years of dedicated spine surgery experience and more than 5,000 spine surgeries performed.
Patients from Manesar can consult Dr. Dheeraj Batheja in Gurugram. Endoscopic spine surgery is performed in Gurugram, not in Manesar. The suitability of endoscopic surgery is determined after carefully evaluating the patient's symptoms, clinical examination findings, and imaging.

Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses an endoscope and specialised surgical instruments through a small working corridor to access selected spinal conditions. The technique may allow the surgeon to treat certain disc-related problems and nerve compression while limiting disruption to surrounding muscles and ligaments.
However, endoscopic spine surgery is not suitable for every spinal condition. The appropriate surgical technique depends on the location and cause of the problem, the patient's anatomy, imaging findings, and overall clinical condition. Patients from Manesar who require an advanced spine evaluation can travel to Gurugram for consultation and treatment planning.
Endoscopic spine surgery uses a small camera, called an endoscope, to provide visual access to the affected area of the spine. Specialised instruments can then be introduced through the working channel to treat selected spinal problems.
Compared with some conventional open procedures, an endoscopic approach may involve:
The goal is not simply to use the smallest possible incision. The primary consideration is whether an endoscopic approach can safely and effectively treat the patient's spinal condition.
Endoscopic techniques may be considered for selected patients with:
Occurs when disc material moves beyond its normal position, causing back pain, leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. Many cases initially improve conservatively. When surgery becomes appropriate, endoscopic discectomy is considered based on herniation size, location, and MRI correlation.
Commonly occurs when a spinal nerve root is compressed, causing buttock pain, shooting leg pain, or weakness. Sciatica does not automatically require surgery. When persistent symptoms stem from a treatable structural cause, endoscopic techniques directly decompress the nerve root.
Narrowing around the canal or neural exit channels can cause leg pain, numbness, tingling, and difficulty standing or walking. While many patients are managed conservatively, selected candidates with significant narrowing undergo endoscopic decompression to free compressed nerves.
An ultra-minimally invasive procedure used to remove the selected portion of a herniated disc compressing a nerve. Considered for patients with persistent leg pain, correlating imaging, and inadequate relief from non-surgical treatments.
Endoscopic spine surgery and conventional open spine surgery are different surgical approaches. Endoscopic surgery is not automatically better than open surgery; the safest and most effective approach depends on the individual spinal condition.
May involve targeted keyhole access:
May be more appropriate when:
Endoscopic spine surgery may be considered for selected patients presenting with:
A spine consultation begins with a detailed medical history and physical examination, complemented by targeted imaging:
Provides detailed information about discs, nerves, spinal stenosis, and soft-tissue structures.
Help evaluate spinal alignment, bone structures, and certain degenerative or structural changes.
Recommended in selected cases when more detailed information about the bony architecture is required.
Assessing muscle strength, sensation, reflexes, walking, and other neurological functions.
Dr. Dheeraj Batheja is a Senior Consultant – Ortho Spine Surgery at Artemis Hospitals, Gurugram, with a practice focused on spinal conditions and advanced surgical techniques.
Dr. Batheja has 13+ years of dedicated experience in spine surgery, radiculopathy, and nerve decompression.
He has performed 5,000+ spine surgeries according to his current professional profiles.
His areas of expertise include minimally invasive and endoscopic spine procedures. Artemis Hospitals lists him among its spine specialists and provides endoscopic spine surgery as part of its minimally invasive spine services.
His professional training includes orthopaedic and spine education in India, spine-focused experience at Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital in the UK, and advanced spine training through AO Spine.
Endoscopic surgery is not appropriate for every patient. Dr. Batheja's treatment approach involves assessing the underlying spinal problem and considering appropriate non-surgical and surgical options.
Recovery after endoscopic spine surgery depends on the procedure performed and the patient's individual condition. Factors that affect recovery include the underlying spinal condition, location and severity of nerve compression, type of endoscopic procedure, duration of symptoms, overall health, and whether additional procedures are required.
Patients from Manesar can travel to Gurugram for specialist evaluation and discussion of endoscopic spine surgery. This page is intended for patients searching for endoscopic spine treatment from Manesar while making the actual treatment location clear.
The important distinction is: Manesar = patient's location, and Gurugram = consultation and treatment location. Patients travelling from IMT Manesar, Sectors 1–10, Kasan, Bilaspur, and nearby parts of Haryana can easily reach the clinic via NH-48 and CPR.

Comprehensive answers regarding endoscopic spine procedures, diagnostics, candidate criteria, and travel from Manesar to Gurugram.
Yes. Patients from Manesar can consult Dr. Dheeraj Batheja for evaluation of conditions that may be suitable for endoscopic spine surgery. The consultation and treatment are provided in Gurugram.
No. His listed practice and hospital location is Gurugram. Patients from Manesar who are suitable candidates can travel to Gurugram for consultation and surgery.
Depending on the diagnosis, endoscopic techniques may be considered for selected disc problems, nerve compression, certain cases of sciatica and selected spinal stenosis cases.
No. Some slipped discs improve without surgery, while others may require a different surgical approach. Suitability depends on the disc problem, symptoms, nerve compression and imaging findings.
Yes. Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive approach that uses an endoscope and specialised instruments through a small surgical access point.
Not necessarily. Endoscopic surgery can be beneficial for appropriately selected conditions, but more extensive problems may require conventional or other surgical approaches.
No. Many patients with sciatica improve with non-surgical treatment. Endoscopic surgery is considered only when there is an appropriate surgical indication and the underlying problem is suitable for the procedure.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure and the patient's condition. Some patients may mobilise earlier after minimally invasive surgery, but the recovery timeline should be determined by the treating surgeon.
Bring previous MRI or CT scans, X-rays, prescriptions, medical reports and details of previous treatment, if available.
