Summary: Posterolateral transforaminal full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy (FELD) is an effective and safe surgical option for lateral lumbar disc herniation, with successful clinical outcomes, short operative time, and minimal complications. Clinical evaluations showed significant improvements in symptoms postoperatively, with high patient satisfaction rates.

Summary: Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) has evolved as an essential component of minimally invasive spine surgery, with percutaneous or full-endoscopic discectomy being a scientifically proven alternative for lumbar disc herniation. The surgical field has shifted from intradiscal space to epidural space, allowing for precise and selective discectomy. The medical applications of ESS are expanding to include various spinal conditions beyond disc herniation.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated the clinical data of 19 patients who underwent transforaminal endoscopic discectomy for thoracolumbar disc herniation. It was found that operation time, blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, and surgical outcomes were favorable, with a satisfactory improvement rate of 89.5%.

Summary: This study investigated the anatomical relationship between bony landmark V point, dural sac, nerve roots, and intervertebral disc. The results suggest that during posterior endoscopic cervical foraminotomy or discectomy, bone removal and neural decompression should be performed based on the specific location.

Summary: Patients with both DISH and cervical disc herniation present a rare and complex case. Anterior cervical disc fusion and anterior vertebral osteophyte removal proved to be effective treatment measures, leading to significant improvement in symptoms and outcomes. This case study offers valuable insight into managing cervical spine complications associated with DISH and other ailments.

Summary: This study compared the rates of reoperation and infection within six months for patients with lumbar disc herniation treated with open discectomy (OD) or percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD). The results showed that the PELD group had higher reoperation rates but lower infection rates compared to the OD group.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of minimally invasive (MIS) tubular discectomy compared to conventional open surgery. The study found that both techniques had similar improvements in leg pain and disability, but MIS had reduced effectiveness in treating associated back pain. Additionally, MIS had advantages in terms of operating time, blood loss, and adverse events.

Summary: This study compares the short-term clinical outcomes of biportal endoscopic technique (BE) posterior cervical foraminotomy (PCF) with percutaneous full-endoscopic technique (PE) PCF. The results demonstrate that the 1-year postoperative clinical outcomes of both techniques for cervical pain and disability caused by unilateral cervical foraminal disc disease (UCFD) are good and comparable. PE-PCF resulted in significantly less immediate postoperative neck pain, but BE-PCF required shorter total operation time.
