What is endoscopic MBT (Medial Branch Transection)?

Endoscopic medial branch transection is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic pain in the facet joints, the joints that connect one level to the next in your back. MBT involves the use of an endoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached to it, to locate and definitively sever the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals from the facet joints to the brain.

This procedure is indicated for patients who have chronic back pain who have failed conservative therapies, and who after receiving temporary pain relief from medial branch blocks (MBB), are unable to get lasting relief from radio frequency ablation, commonly referred to as “burning of the nerves.”

The benefits of endoscopic medial branch transection include:

1. Minimally invasive: The procedure is performed using small incisions, resulting in less tissue damage and a faster recovery time compared to traditional open surgery.

2. Targeted pain relief: By specifically targeting the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals, this procedure can provide long-lasting pain relief for patients with chronic spine pain.

3. Reduced risk of complications: Because it is a minimally invasive procedure, the risk of complications such as infection or bleeding is lower than with open surgery.

4. Improved quality of life: By reducing or eliminating chronic pain, patients may experience improved mobility, function, and overall quality of life.

Overall, endoscopic medial branch transection is a safe and effective option for patients experiencing chronic spine pain that has not responded to other treatments.

Hard to beat receiving a gift like this from a happy post-op patient and U.S. Navy Veteran! Just 6 weeks after a 2 level Cervical Fusion for Cervical Myelopathy and Radiculopathy, he was happy to have his hands back so that he could get back to his passion of woodworking.

It doesn’t get more rewarding than that, and thanks to all of our Veterans and men and women in the Armed Services!
