Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) offers a safe and effective minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) option. Advancements in technology are expanding ESS indications for various spinal conditions and chronic low back pain.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) has emerged as a safe, effective, and efficient minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) alternative.
  • Full-endoscopic systems enable definitive decompression surgery via various approaches, adaptable to lesion location or surgeon preference.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current indications for endoscopic spine surgery (ESS).
  • To explore the potential future expansion of ESS applications in spinal treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on endoscopic spine surgery techniques and outcomes.
  • Analysis of technological advancements, including computer-assisted navigation and augmented reality.
