Abstract
Spinal endoscopy has evolved significantly since its inception, offering minimally invasive solutions for various spinal pathologies. This study introduces a promising innovation in spinal endoscopy-a single-use digital endoscope designed to overcome the drawbacks of traditional optic endoscopes. Traditional endoscopes, despite their utility, present challenges such as fragility, complex disinfection processes, weight issues, and susceptibility to mechanical malfunctions. The digital endoscope, with its disposable nature, lighter weight, and improved image quality, aims to enhance surgical procedures and patient safety. The digital endoscope system comprises a 30-degree 1000 × 1000 pixel resolution camera sensor with a 4.3 mm working channel, and LED light sources replacing optical fibers. The all-in-one touch screen tablet serves as the host computer, providing portability and simplified operation. Image comparisons between the digital and optic endoscopes revealed advantages in the form of increased field of view, lesser distortion, greater close-range resolution, and enhanced luminance. The single-use digital endoscope demonstrates great potential for revolutionizing spine endoscopic surgeries, offering convenience, safety, and superior imaging capabilities compared to traditional optic endoscopes.
