“…Our team adopted "vertical anchoring technology" in the beginning of this surgery, which allows clinicians to safely and accurately reach the lesion site, providing a safe and effective minimally invasive surgical route [6,7]. In this method, we use a high-speed grinding drill under a full endoscope to grind the lesion down to the normal bone on the inner wall of the tumor cavity, use a radio frequency electrode to carry out internal thermal ablation of the lesion, and use concentrated iodophor and anhydrous ethanol to carry out chemical treatment of the tumor cavity, so as to minimize recurrence and damage to the normal spinal structure [8]. In the last step of the surgery, the cavity is filled with allogenic bone.…”

Benign lesions of the spine include benign tumors and tumor-like lesions of the spine, which usually occur in the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. The incidence rate is low, accounting for about 1% of primary bone tumors. Few cases of endoscopic treatment of benign spinal lesions have been reported in the literature. Here, we introduce a new surgical technique using full endoscopy and allogeneic bone grafting to treat benign spinal lesions. All patients in this study successfully underwent the operation, and their pain was significantly relieved postoperatively. The patient VAS scores decreased from 3.07 ± 0.70 preoperatively to 0.33 ± 0.49 at the last follow-up visit (p < 0.05). The mean total blood loss (including drainage blood) was 16.67 ± 6.98 mL. The mean operative time was 63.33 ± 7.23 min. No patients developed numbness in the corresponding segmental distribution after surgery, none of the patients had serious postoperative complications, and none had focal recurrence during follow-up requiring reoperation. Patients reported symptom relief throughout the whole follow-up period. We believe that endoscopic surgery preserves the ligaments and soft tissues around the vertebral body, and that this technique is feasible with minimal trauma, rapid recovery, and good outcomes at short-term follow-up. This minimally invasive treatment modality offers a new option for the treatment of patients with benign spinal lesions.
