Spinal Descompression Trhough a Tubular System with Assisted Endoscopy

Abstract

Endoscopic surgery has become an important tool in spinal surgery, the ergonomic design and the required length of the instruments, as well as the use of video monitors greatly affect our perception and performance. Some experts are resistant to the use of the endoscope in spinal surgery, because of the limitations in the perceptual information and that this can lead us to commit incorrect actions during the surgical procedure. Since the introduction in 1997 by Smith and Foley of a system consisting of progressive tubular dilators (MED) to later place an endoscopic vision system, the technique has become increasingly popular to this day. Based on this, other authors have documented the use of this endoscopic tubular system called Easy-Go reporting good results, so the authors of this article focus on the intraoperative peculiarities, experience, first impressions and the technical note of this system. (EASY-GO).
