In full-endoscopic spine surgery, the surgeon makes a small incision near the area of the spine to be treated and then passes a tube-shaped instrument through the muscles down to the spine. Inserting the instrument creates a tunnel to the problem area on the spine and keeps the muscles open.

Using small instruments that fit through the centre of the created tubular working channel, the surgeon can access the problem area of the spine to perform the surgery.

The quality of imaging in endoscopic spine surgery is a prerequisite for safe surgery. The new 4K camera system from Richard Wolf offers the latest imaging technology for endoscopic spine surgery. Thanks to state-of-the-art video technology, the camera systems make the finest structures appear clearly. A brilliant visual impression improves spatial orientation and depth effect and facilitates the surgical procedure in spinal surgery.

After the procedure is completed, the doctor removes the tubular working channel and the muscles return to their original position.
