TES® - Transforaminal Endoscopic Surgery
TES® stands for transforaminal endoscopic surgery. Using the modern TESSYS® method the surgeon works through a posterior lateral endoscopic 7,5 mm access via the invertebral foramen. Thanks to the joimax® HD technology every surgical step is controlled endoscopically.
The amazing Results
"Endoscopic techniques may speed recovery, minimize postoperative pain and improve the final outcome. What once required three to six months to recover from now only requires three to six weeks."

minimally invasive = endoscopic?
Special attention should be given to the fact that minimally invasive does not automatically mean endoscopic or transforaminal. Today there are already several treatment approaches on the minimally invasive level, in addition to others which focus on the endoscopic procedures.
These approaches are summarised under the term minimally invasive spinal surgery which is a generic term for “the conduction of classic, conventional surgeries through minimized accesses with the smallest possible tissue damage”.
However unlike these methods, the TES® method uses the transforaminal access through the intervertebral foramen under endoscopic view to the intervertebral disc herniation at a size of just 7.5 mm and the tissue around the spine is not dissected, just dilated by the procedure. Studies show the success of the gentle and effective TESSYS® method.
