Minimally invasive surgery, Spinal cord surgery, Endoscopic surgeryAbstract
The interest in minimally invasive surgeries dates from the beginning of the XVIII century. Recently it has received more attention due to the benefits it provides to patient and surgery recovery. The endoscopic approach to the spinal cord surgery has experienced a great development over the recent years. The endoscopic surgery in the spinal cord compromises the application of various techniques such as stereotaxic and percutaneous image-guided techniques, intraoperative mapping through electrical stimulation, neurophysiological monitoring and radiofrequency ablation. The integration of these techniques allows precise surgery with the least of side effects. In this work, we related our experience with spinal cord endoscopic surgery.
