The TESSYS® surgery
Using the TESSYS® approach the surgeon resects the herniated disc through the foramen intervertebrale. Thus, a natural foramen to the spinal canal is used. With the TESSYS® technique this is widened step by step using specialized reamers and instruments. Under endoscopic view sequestered disc material is removed completely and directly through the foramen.
