Minimally invasive spinal surgery using arthroscopic or endoscopic techniques offers a reliable alternative for various spinal disorders. These methods enable visual diagnosis, treatment of infections, biopsies, and targeted therapies for spinal conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Spinal surgery
  • Minimally invasive techniques
  • Arthroscopy and endoscopy

Background:

  • Spinal disorders require effective treatment options.
  • Traditional open surgeries have limitations.
  • Minimally invasive approaches are gaining traction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the emerging role of minimally invasive spinal surgery.
  • To detail the applications of arthroscopic and endoscopic techniques.
  • To present these methods as a reliable alternative treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Arthroscopic and endoscopic spinal surgery.
  • Operative techniques for discectomy and fragment retrieval.
  • Stabilization of unstable spinal motion segments.
