Advancing Education in Endoscopic Spinal Navigation: Novel Methods and Technical Note.

This report aims to demonstrate how to teach anatomy and understanding of spinal endoscopic vision and navigation using mnemonics. The authors present a new surgical technique for teaching endoscopic spinal navigation in a didactic manner with tips such as the "rule of the hand" and decomposition of the endoscopic navigation movement. We demonstrate how the surgery is seen and illustrate how images are projected onto the screen, then divide the navigation into spatial orientation and self-navigation.

Management of Unilateral Cervical Facet Joint Dislocation in Neurologically Intact Patients: Results of an Ao Spine latin American Survey.
