Excited to share the latest issue of 𝙉𝙚𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙁𝙤𝙘𝙪𝙨 on Endoscopic Spine Surgery, where I had the privilege of serving as a Topic Editor! ✨
Endoscopic techniques are revolutionizing spine care — offering surgical precision and rapid recovery. This edition brings together cutting-edge research proving how these techniques continue to push boundaries and elevate patient outcomes:
🔹 Motion Preservation: Demonstrating how endoscopic decompression can reduce the need for fusion in grade 1 spondylolisthesis.
🔹 Tissue Preservation: Objective biomarker and registry data confirming significantly reduced muscle damage and accelerated mobility recovery compared to open approaches.
🔹 Economic Value: Strong evidence showing the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of full-endoscopic and biportal decompression for modern healthcare systems.
🔹 Tackling Complex Pathology: Expanding horizons to successfully treat challenging cases — including thoracic disc herniations and spinal metastases — with minimal invasiveness.
🔹 Pristine Visualization: Practical protocols (like TXA and epinephrine-containing irrigation) that give surgeons unmatched clarity and control in the OR.
