Article Abstract
Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) advances the principles of minimally invasive surgery, including minor collateral tissue damage, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery times. ESS allows for direct access to the spine through small incisions and direct visualization of spinal pathology via an endoscope. While this technique has many applications, there is a steep learning curve when adopting ESS into a surgeon's practice. Two types of navigation, optical and electromagnetic, may allow for widespread utilization of ESS by engendering improved orientation to surgical anatomy and reduced complication rates. The present review discusses these two available navigation technologies and their application in endoscopic procedures by providing case examples. Furthermore, we report on the future directions of navigation within the discipline of ESS.

For lumbar spinal canal stenosis, endoscopic spine surgery typically employs a unilateral approach. While this approach has the advantage of early access to the lamina, it risks damage to the facet joint on the entry side. Additionally, decompression of the ipsilateral lateral recess can be challenging, sometimes resulting in inadequate decompression laterally, leading to incomplete symptom relief.

Background: This study aimed to develop and validate the first nomogram model for predicting postoperative complications in thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS) patients undergoing unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE), integrating multidimensional risk factors to provide a quantitative basis for preoperative risk evaluation and individualized treatment planning.
Methods: Patients were divided into a retrospective training cohort ( = 375) and a prospective validation cohort ( = 100). Baseline clinical data [age, diabetes, preoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score], radiographic parameters (Spinal cord/canal area (SC/ECA) ratio, intramedullary high signal, thoracic kyphosis (TK) angle), and surgical variables (intraoperative blood loss, number of lesion segments, dural adhesion, etc.

ObjectiveTo investigate the analgesic effects of acetaminophen-mannitol injections after endoscopic lumbar discectomy.MethodsThis is a prospective case-control study involving 60 patients who were randomly selected from those who underwent endoscopic lumbar discectomy for lumbar disc herniation or lumbar spinal stenosis at Sanshui District People's Hospital of Foshan between April and September 2024. Two groups were formed by randomly assigning patients, with each group containing 30 individuals.
