“…38 Several minimally invasive approaches have been developed including microscope-assisted "keyhole" foraminotomy, micro-endoscope, and endoscope-assisted techniques. [39][40][41][42] Ruetten and colleagues 43 were the first to describe "fullendoscopic" cervical approaches introducing the endoscope via a small tubular retractor. Kim and colleagues 44 reported similar clinical results comparing posterior tubular-based microscopeassisted with percutaneous endoscopic techniques.…”

Study Design: International consensus paper on a unified nomenclature for full-endoscopic spine surgery. Objectives: Minimally invasive endoscopic spinal procedures have undergone rapid development during the past decade. Evolution of working-channel endoscopes and surgical instruments as well as innovation in surgical techniques have expanded the types of spinal pathology that can be addressed. However, there is in the literature a heterogeneous nomenclature defining approach corridors and procedures, and this lack of common language has hampered communication between endoscopic spine surgeons, patients, hospitals, and insurance providers. Methods: The current report summarizes the nomenclature reported for working-channel endoscopic procedures that address cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal pathology. Results: We propose a uniform system that defines the working-channel endoscope (full-endoscopic), approach corridor (anterior, posterior, interlaminar, transforaminal), spinal segment (cervical, thoracic, lumbar), and procedure performed (eg, discectomy, foraminotomy). We suggest the following nomenclature for the most common full-endoscopic procedures: posterior endoscopic cervical foraminotomy (PECF), transforaminal endoscopic thoracic discectomy (TETD), transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy (TELD), transforaminal lumbar foraminotomy (TELF), interlaminar endoscopic lumbar discectomy (IELD), interlaminar endoscopic lateral recess decompression (IE-LRD), and lumbar endoscopic unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression (LE-ULBD). Conclusions: We believe that it is critical to delineate a consensus nomenclature to facilitate uniformity of working-channel endoscopic procedures within academic scholarship. This will hopefully facilitate development, standardization of procedures, teaching, and widespread acceptance of full-endoscopic spinal procedures.

“…However, long-term follow-up studies showed the fusion-related complications such as degeneration of adjacent segments, graft subsidence, implant failures, pseudarthrosis, rejection reaction, or access-related complications [6][7][8][9][10] . In order to avoid these complications caused by intervertebral fusion, various modi cations were reported to minimize surgical disturbance to the biomechanics of cervical spine [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] .…”

Objective To investigate the 2-year follow-up outcomes of patients with cervical intervertebral disc herniation (CIVDH) after percutaneous full-endoscopic anterior transcorporeal cervical discectomy (PEATCD) and channel repair. Methods From Oct. 2016 to Mar. 2017, 24 patients with central/mediolateral CIVDH was treated with PEATCD and channel repair. Of the 24 cases, five interventions were performed at C3-C4 level, 11 were performed at C4-C5 level, and 8 were performed at C5-C6 level. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by Neck Disability Index (NDI), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Radiographic outcomes were measured with X-rays, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging.Results All the 24 procedures were completed successfully with an average operating time of 86.40±8.19min. Neck collar was advised for 3 weeks for all patients. No procedure-related complications were observed except for the swollen neck in 5 patients, which rehabilitated within 2 hours without sequela. The final scores of NDI, JOA, and VAS were improved significantly compared to those of preoperative assessments, 7.74±7.31 VS. 52.11±22.10, 16.04±0.68 VS. 9.08±1.31, and 0.52±0.65 VS. 6.73±1.45, respectively, P<0.05. Mean disc height was decreased from preoperative 5.43±0.52 mm to final 5.05±0.43 mm, without related-symptoms. No bone plug migration or channel collapse was measured during postoperative periods. All the channels were absent 12 months postoperative. Conclusion The most outstanding advantages of PEATCD with channel repair were “functional preservation” and “anatomical protection” for cervical spine, and which is a safe, feasible, effective, and minimally invasive surgery that offers an alternative for patients with CIVDH.

“…Since the beginning of the 20th century, numerous specialists and researchers are committed to providing new insights into ESS, and a large number of articles about ESS are published annually to showed clinical application, cases report, the surgical technical note, safety and effectiveness. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Very recently, a bibliometric study on full-ESS demonstrated that the number of published articles increased by 41 times between 1997 and 2017. 26 However, the newest study focused only on full-ESS and could not fully reflect the field of ESS due to their exclusion of thoracoscopic spine surgery, and laparoscopic spine surgery, and nasoendoscopic spine surgery.…”

Study Design: A bibliometric review of the literature. Objective: Our objective was to identify and analyze the 100 most-cited publications in the field of endoscopic spine surgery (ESS). Methods: In order to determine the top cited 100 articles, a 3-step approach was employed. First, the 100 most-cited ESS studies were identified using the key phrase “endoscopic spine surgery.” Then, 8 keywords were identified from the 100 studies of step 1 were used to conduct a second round searching in all databases of the Web of Science. Finally, when the results of the first and second steps were overlapped, duplicated studies were removed. The 100 top-cited articles were used for further analysis. Results: The citation number of the top 100 most-cited articles ranged from 44 to 236 with a mean value of 84.4. The most productive periods were from 2001 to 2010. The majority of publications came from Spine and Neurosurgery, where Spine holds the largest number of 35 articles, followed by Neurosurgery with 13 articles. Overall, 10 countries contributed to the 100 articles, with the most productive country being the United States, followed by Germany and Korea. Conclusion: This bibliometric study is meant to produce a list of intellectual milestones in the field of ESS. This article’s identification of the most influential articles in the field of ESS gives us a unique and comprehensive insight into the development of ESS in the past several decades.
