Alternative to open back surgery
According to more than one international website's online questionaires, I am a suitable candidate for endoscopic discectomy (spine surgery). How can I find a neuro surgeon in South Africa who performs endoscopic spine surgery?

Dear UR,
Contact your nearest academic hospital - like Grootte Schuur or Pretoria Academic and ask to speak to the head or orthopedics. They should be able to refer you to someone in your area.
