Is microendoscopic discectomy safe?

Question
I would like to know whether microendoscopic discectomy is safe or it has side effects? Is it very expensive?
Expert Answer
A
The surgery is very safe and done using a keyhole. The advantages are minimal post-operative pain, better cosmetic and early recovery. It would cost Rs 80,000 in a economy room and 1,50,000 in a special room which includes 5 days stay in the hospital.
