Notes:
Summary The use of new endoscopic techniques to conduct a thoracic discectomy is presented. The development of these endoscopic techniques through live porcine and cadaver models are outlined. It is concluded that the use of multiple ports for the endoscopie approach to the thoracic spine provides an exposure to the anterior and lateral spinal theca that is equal to the exposure afforded by the more extensive thoracotomy. Current techniques are being developed for transperitoneal and retroperitoneal endoscopie lumbar spine surgery.
