During an endoscopic procedure, only an 8mm short incision is made at the skin level. The muscle is not incised but dilated with dilators so that an approximately 6 mm wide camera can be inserted towards the spine. The camera contains a working channel that can be used to remove a herniated disk or to insert a cutter to widen the spinal cord. The wounds hardly bleed after the procedure and therefore drainage is usually not needed.
