OVERVIEW

Endoscopic spine surgery is one of the latest technologies to enter the spine surgery arena. As this cutting edge technology makes inroads into the treatment of spinal disorders, there are challenges and solutions specific to newcomers to this technique. Many technology companies push for the implementation of new techniques, but it is critical to review the evidence in support of new technology, as well as carefully review the learning curve associated with the adoption of this technology.
