Not affective : We used to do epiduroscopy but it was found to be ineffective. Sometimes scar tissue is removed if it is causing neurological dysfunction. Unfortunately, there is no cure yet for epidural scar tissue or fibrosis.

SEA: Spinal endoscopic adhesiolysis may offer relief in patients with radiation-induced or failed back surgery syndrome (fbss)-induced adhesions. Have a look: http://www.Painphysicianjournal.Com/2009/march/2009;12;419-435.Pdf.
