A case of clinical application of endoscopy in the course of surgery for sacral resection is discussed. Video-assisted frontal approach was used to ligate internal ileac vessels and to detach the fore end of tumor. Subsequently, the sacrum was removed via back access. Unlike standard methods using trans- or extraperitoneal frontal approach, our procedure involved less trauma and was followed by a shorter rehabilitation period.

Background: Hereditary Multiple Osteochondromas (HMO), previously known as Multiple Hereditary Exostoses (MHE), is a genetic disorder characterized by the formation of multiple, benign, exostoses (osteochondromas) growing from the metaphyseal region of long bones as well as from the axial skeleton. Lesions originating from the lumbar spine region are rare, and are most common growing from the posterior element of the vertebrae. HMO associated osteochondromas are difficult to treat due to continuous and incontrollable growth of these lesions and a lifetime risk for malignant transformation.
