television camera is mounted at its tip and allows an image to be transmitted to a monitor.
Chromoendoscope and zoom endoscope A chromoendoscope allows cells to be stained. In gastro­enterology, for example, areas of mucous membranes can be sprayed with a harmless pigment such as indigo car­mine. This is actually not relevant for spine surgery. Endoscopic spinal surgery requires coordination of the
following:
Endoscopic surgical access Using different thoracoscopic or laparoscopic portals or serial tubular dilators
Operative guidance Intraoperative uoroscopy is essential to conrm the working level.
Endoscopic visualization Digital imaging, endoscopic considerations and illumination
Endoscopic surgical instruments Dissection tools, retractors, irrigation, suction, haemosta­sis, cautery and endoscopic drills
Spine implants for endoscopic use
8.4 Endoscopy inSpine Surgery
8.4.1 Anterior Cervical Spine
8.4.2 Posterior Cervical Spine
The approach and the surgical technique are similar to tradi­tional surgery but are performed using a working tube of varying diameters and the typical endoscopic instruments mentioned for the anterior approach. Fessler and Khoo [7] have reported on minimally invasive cervical microendo­scopic foraminotomy in 25 patients.
8.4.3 Anterior Thoracic Spine
With the aid of thoracoscopy and mediastinoscopy, and using specially adapted trocars and instruments, spine operations can be carried out either entirely endoscopically or with endoscopic assistance. Using thoracoscopy, for example, it is possible to carry out decompression in cases of thoracic disc prolapse or instrumented procedures with additional ventro­lateral plating. In 1994, Rosenthal etal. [3] reported the rst excision of a herniated thoracic disc by thoracoscopic sur­gery. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery can be used for a variety of spinal indications [8, 9]. The nerve roots and the spinal cord can be decompressed, bone grafts can be placed for interbody fusion and vertebral body reconstruction and internal xation can be applied to stabilize the thoracic spine [10] (Figs.8.5 and 8.6).
Endoscopically assisted transoral surgery represents an alter­native to standard microsurgical techniques for transoral approaches to the anterior cervicomedullary junction [6].
The anterior approach is very similar to the traditional
microsurgical approach, with the neurovascular sheath being positioned lateral to the working channel and the visceral structures medial to the working channel. The tip of the working sleeve is positioned against the anterior longitudinal ligament and the edge of the anterior part of the adjacent vertebral bodies. The disc space can then be passed without performing a discectomy, which is not possible with tradi­tional microsurgery. Herniectomy and, if necessary, removal of osteophytes are carried out with suitable instruments including burrs, trephines, microresectors, various types of forceps, drills, hooks and bipolar microelectrodes. Using this approach, the foraminal areas and the spinal canal can be reached with excellent control of the operating eld, but the interpedicular space is not accessible. In the cervical spine— more than in the other segments of the spine—an anterior endoscopic approach facilitates the effective anatomical decompression of the spinal canal and/or the nerve roots (plus in select cases, even the vertebral artery) without requiring replacement of the disc by fusion or arthroplasty.
There is usually no need for a drain or for post-operative
immobilization.
8.4.4 Posterior Lumbar Spine
Interlaminar Approach
This approach is very similar to the traditional microsurgical approach. Access to the spinal canal is via a limited avot­omy, and the risks of damaging the dura or neural structures are similar to those applying to the microsurgical approach. Depending on the angle of entry into the interlaminar win­dow in the sagittal plane and the level treated, it may be easy or difcult to actually reach the posterior aspect of the disc. The interpedicular region is very difcult to reach if at all, as is the contralateral side of the ventral epidural space. If the interlaminar window is very small, this approach may not be feasible without resection of the laminar edge and/or the medial aspect of the facet joint, especially with some of the more modern endoscopes that have a larger working channel but also a larger outer diameter.
One clear advantage is the easy convertibility to an open
approach.
Posterolateral Approach
This is the best known foraminal approach to the lumbar spine and can be used for foraminal and extraforaminal disc herniations as well as for intradiscal procedures. It uses an angle of about 60deg to the sagittal plane and approaches the

foramen at the level of the disc. It can be performed with the patient either prone or in a lateral decubitus position. The main intraoperative risks are damage to the exiting nerve root (especially where there is advanced loss of disc height) and to blood vessels. To gain adequate access, it is often necessary to ream the lateral aspect of the superior articular process, espe­cially in patients with short pedicles and even without the presence of osteophytes at the facet joint. The ventral epidural space can only be reached in its lateral aspect.
Far or Extreme Lateral Approach
This approach is a more recent development and has largely been pioneered by Ruetten etal. [4]. Using this approach, it is possible to reach the ventral epidural space (with the exception of the interpedicular area) and the foraminal and extraforaminal areas. The foramen is approached at an angle of slightly less than 90deg to the sagittal plane. The skin is penetrated at about the level of the facet joints in the coronal plane. The patient should be placed in a prone position. This ensures that there is less interference with the facet joint that occurs with the posterolateral approach, but short pedicles and a large bulging disc can still make it difcult to reach the ventral epidural space. The operative risks are much the same as those applying to the posterolateral approach. There is a higher risk of injury to the dura and the added risk of injury to retroperitoneal organs at the upper lumbar levels. The retroperitoneal anatomy at the level of interest therefore needs to be examined using CT or MRI prior to performing this approach at higher lumbar levels.

8.4.5 Anterior Lumbar Spine
Laparoscopy makes it possible to carry out various surgi­cal procedures on the ventral spine. In 1991, Obenchaim [11] performed a laparoscopic L5–S1 discectomy fol­lowed, in 1992, by Bohlmann and Zdeblick’s [2] L5–S1 fusion with laparoscopic placement of an interbody cage. Anterior arthrodesis has been performed by laparoscopic insertion of cages at the L4/L5 and L5/S1 levels [10]. Laparoscopic retroperitoneal techniques have been used for anterior plating to xate the anterior column rigidly to restore stability [12].
The spinal endoscopy can be divided in percutaneous-

8.5 Tips andTricks
• Endoscopes are precision instruments and must be handled with care. Any damage to the shaft or exces­sively hard knocks can cause the lenses to become loose or slip inside the instrument. A typical sign of this is clouding of the eyepiece which can lead to a
complete breakdown if the endoscope is subjected to further damage.
• The end of the shaft containing the prism must be pro­tected from high temperatures. All manufacturers give their own recommendations, but an upper limit between +65°C and +70°C is common. Some manufacturers achieve upper limits between +150°C and +200°C.
• If the glass bres in a exible endoscope are damaged or subjected to extreme bending, the individual glass bres may break. This causes small black dots to appear in the endoscopic image.
• To learn these techniques, it is essential that surgeons receive adequate training. This includes practice with cadaver and invivo models, preceptorships and proctor-

9.1 Introduction and Core Messages
Minimally invasive techniques can reduce tissue dam­age. Endoscopic operations have advantages which have raised these procedures to the standard in various areas. In arthroscopy, working with rod-lens optics under continuous uid irrigation has proven valuable. In addition to reduced traumatization, improved visual and light conditions are achieved. Full endoscopic operations on the lumbar spine can usually be per­formed uniportal via trans-/extraforaminal or interlam­inar approaches. Analogous to the arthroscopy, there is a continuous intraoperative irrigation. Since usually only one access is used, the instruments must be inserted through an intraendoscopic working canal. These days, the equipment available offers operation technical possibilities comparable to those known from microscope-assisted surgery.
9.2 Denition ofSpinal Endoscopy
Full endoscopic technique is the term for a relatively newly developed method for endoscopic uniportal operations of the lumbar spinal canal and adjacent structures under constant visual control and continuous intraoperative irrigation via a minimally traumatizing access using rod-lens optics with an intraendoscopic working canal. On the lumbar spine, there are existing two different surgical approaches: the trans-/ extraforaminal approach through or outside the interverte­bral foramen and the interlaminar approach through the interlaminar window.

9.3 Basic Equipment ofSpinal Endoscopy
In addition to standard surgical accessories and small parts, the following basic equipment of the instruments we use (Richard Wolf GmbH, Knittlingen, Germany) are necessary for full endoscopic operations of the lumbar spine:
Rod-lens optics
The oval rod-lens optics have an outer diameter of maxi­mal 6.9mm and contain an eccentric working canal with a diameter of 4.1mm. Moreover, the light source system and an irrigation canal are in the optics unit. The visual angle is 25deg. The optics for trans-/extraforaminal and interlaminar accesses differ in their usable length (Fig.9.1).
Access instruments
Access is made bluntly in the dilator technique. For the trans-/extraforaminal approach, the following instruments are necessary:
– Spinal needle: for puncture of the target area in or out-
side the spinal canal
– Target wire: for subsequent control of the dilators after
removal of the spinal needle
– Dilator creates the access for the nal operation
sheath
– Operation sheath: for insertion of the optics after
removal of the dilators For the interlaminar approach, the following instruments are necessary:
– Dilator creates the access for the nal operation
sheath.
– Operation sheath: to insert the optics after removal of
the dilators. The operation sheaths have a beveled opening which cre­ates a eld of vision and work area in an area without clear anatomically preformed hollows. The irrigation uid is drained off between the oval optics and round operation sheath. The operation sheaths for trans-/extra­foraminal and interlaminar accesses differ in their usable length (Fig.9.2).

Manual instruments The instruments are inserted through the intraendoscopic working canal of the optics. There is a wide variety of punches, shears, rongeurs, and other supplies with diam­eters from 2.5 to 4mm. The manual instruments for the trans-/extraforaminal and interlaminar approach differ in their usable length (Fig.9.3).
Motor-driven burrs and shavers The burrs and shavers are also inserted via the working canal so that visualization is guaranteed at all times. For bone resection, there are various diamond and normal burrs in ball or oval shapes with various soft tissue protec-
tors. The diameter ranges from 2.5 to 4mm. The shavers for nucleus resection have a diameter of 4mm (Fig.9.3).
Bipolar coagulation and preparation For intraoperative coagulation and soft tissue preparation, there are semiactive exible, bipolar ball electrodes. They are used with radiofrequency current which can reduce tissue damage in the immediate vicinity of neural structures.
Basic unit for endoscopic operations In addition to the operation instruments and the optics, general instruments for endoscopic operations under uid ow are needed, such as monitor, camera unit, light

source, documentation system, uid pump, shaver sys­tem, and radiofrequency generator. Some of the instru­ments available for arthroscopy or endoscopy can be used (Fig.9.4).
Technical setup in the operating theater An X-ray permeable, electrically adjustable operating table and a C-arm are needed. Positioning of the basic units and instruments is made individually and corre­sponding to the procedure in arthroscopy or endoscopy.

10.1 Introduction and Core Messages
In electrosurgery, a high-frequency electric current is applied to the biological tissue as a means to cut, coag­ulate, desiccate or fulgurate the tissue. When a current is passed through the tissue, the cell liquid expands and evaporates, and the cell explodes, which causes the cutting or coagulation effect. This technique underlies many modern surgical procedures. It is therefore important for spine surgeons to be familiar with its basic physical principles and safety measures.

10.2 Denition
Electrosurgery uses high-frequency energy for cutting, cut­ting with simultaneous coagulation and coagulation proce­dures on the human tissue (synonyms: HF surgery, diathermia, electrocauterisation, electrosurgery). Today, high-frequency surgery or electrosurgery is an established feature in the different surgical disciplines. Most high­frequency surgical devices now work with frequencies of about 300–600kHz (see Fig.10.1). The advantages of high­frequency surgery are that bleeding is minimal, the high working temperature prevents contamination with microor­ganisms and the surgical procedure requires only a small skin incision.
10.3 Procedures andDevices
• Haemostasis and tissue cutting with high-frequency cur­rents alone (e.g. MBC 200 Söring GmbH)
• Haemostasis and tissue cutting with high-frequency cur­rents and additional helium gas as a carrier for the electric current (e.g. CPC 1000–1500–3000 cold plasma coagula­tion, Söring GmbH)
• Haemostasis and devitalisation of the tissue with high­frequency currents and additional ionised argon gas (e.g. VIO-APC 2 argon plasma coagulation, Erbe Elektro med­izin GmbH)
• High-frequency-induced thermotherapy (tissue ablation) with high-frequency currents and hollow insulated shaft
