Endoscopic spine surgery has undergone a remarkable evolution,
transforming from pioneering diagnostic interventions to sophisticated,
ultra-minimally invasive therapeutic procedures. Initially emerging in
the late 20th century, early attempts were largely diagnostic, utilizing
rudimentary endoscopes to visualize spinal pathology through a single
portal, driven by the desire to reduce the morbidity associated with
traditional open surgery. The subsequent decades witnessed a rapid
technological armamentarium, with advancements in optics, irrigation
systems, and specialized instruments, allowing for the transition from
simple decompressions and discectomies to more complex procedures.
Today, the field encompasses advanced techniques like transforaminal,
interlaminar, and biportal endoscopic approaches, facilitating precise
decompression, discectomy, and even interbody fusions with unprecedented
clarity and minimal tissue disruption. Visit - Endoscopic Spine Surgery
