Abstract
- The advent of endoscopic technology has facilitated the evolution of endoscopic techniques and broadened the indications of fully endoscopic spine surgery. Endoscopic cervical spinal surgery is currently effective for treating herniated intervertebral discs, foraminal stenosis, and central canal stenosis. Although growing evidence has revealed the safety and advantages of endoscopic approaches, fully endoscopic spine surgical procedures remain challenging and have a steep learning curve, especially in the cervical spine. The anatomical features and pathologic patterns of the cervical spine also affect the application of endoscopic approaches. In this review, the authors introduce the successful points of fully endoscopic cervical spine surgery.
