Endoscopic decompression of spinal cord, nerve root(s), including laminotomy, partial facetectomy, foraminotomy, discectomy and/or excision of herniated intervertebral disc, 1 interspace, lumbar

AI EXPLANATION: Endoscopic lumbar spine surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or spinal nerves in the lower back. Through a small incision, a surgeon inserts a thin tube equipped with a high-definition camera and miniature instruments to inspect the spine and carefully remove bone spurs, overgrown joint tissue, or fragments of a herniated disc that are compressing nerve roots.
