Abstract
Endoscopic surgery is adopted as a minimally invasive technique in several surgical fields. Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) was performed initially for lumbar discectomy but is currently widely utilized for various pathologies. Similar to other endoscopic techniques, ESS has a steep learning curve that has recently been a topic of discussion. Image-guided navigation systems have been developed for spine surgery. Intraoperative computed tomography enables the use of an image-guided navigation system in ESS, which is a suitable approach for managing complex lesions. Full-ESS is currently being adopted for certain cervical pathologies, and the incorporation of an image-guided navigation system will soon enable surgery for other cervical pathologies.
