Spinal endoscopy is the result of an evolution of techniques and technologies in the service of an ever less invasive surgery. It allows the treatment of a large range of pathologies such as disc herniation or spinal stenosis and this range continues to increase. It has already proven its non-inferiority and cost-effectiveness compared to microsurgery despite a difficult learning curve. It has the potential to replace the microscopic «gold standard» as it allows a faster recovery for the patient and a shorter hospital stay.

Delta large-channel endoscopy versus unilateral biportal endoscopy decompressive laminectomy for lumbar spinal stenosis: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
J Orthop Surg Res
January 2025
Center of Medical Genetics, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, 610041, China.
Background: Delta large-channel endoscopy and unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) are prominent minimally invasive techniques for treating lumbar spinal stenosis, known for minimal tissue damage, clear visualization, and quick recovery. However, rigorous controlled research comparing these procedures is scarce, necessitating further investigation into their respective complications and long-term effectiveness. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare their perioperative outcomes, focusing on postoperative recovery and complications over time.

Objective: This study aimed to assess postoperative intracranial pressure in patients with clinical and/or radiological features of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) undergoing endoscopic endonasal surgery for primary cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak repair.
Methods: Data was prospectively collected from 9 patients diagnosed with CSF nasal leaks who underwent corrective endonasal surgery between January 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022. Postoperative intracranial pressure was measured via lumbar puncture at least one month after surgery.
Learning curve insights in Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic (UBE) spinal procedures: proficiency cutoffs and the impact on efficiency and complications.
Eur Spine J

Department of Orthopedics, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.
Objective: This study systematically assesses the learning curve of Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic (UBE) techniques across various spinal surgeries, focusing on its influence on operative efficiency and complication rates to guide optimized training and practice.
Methods: Systematic searches in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library identified studies on UBE learning curves for patients aged 18 or older, comparing early and mastery phases. Two reviewers independently extracted data on surgery type, operative time, and complications.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical feasibility, efficacy and safety of a suture technique combining annulus fibrosus with posterior longitudinal ligament under full endoscopy in patients with lumbar disc herniation.
Methods: Retrospective case-control study. A total of 412 patients with lumbar disc herniation treated in our hospital from January 2020 to November 2022 were enrolled and analyzed.
How i do it: full-endoscopic transsacral approach for the treatment of extraforaminal L5/S1 disc herniation.

Neck-shoulder and Lumbocrural Pain Devision 1, Sichuan Province Orthopedic Hospital, Chengdu, 610041, China.
Background: For L5/S1 extraforaminal disc herniation, how to efficiently expose the herniated nucleus pulposus and reduce facet joint damage remain to be explored.
Methods: Lumbar discectomy was performed using a full-endoscopic transsacral approach, in which sacral ala and extraforaminal ligament were partially resected to expose the L5/S1 intervertebral disc. Methylene blue was used for disc staining, and the herniated nucleus pulposus was excised through the annular tear.
