Procedure

El enfoque endoscópico de las discectomías interlaminares proporciona un acceso mínimamente invasivo a las hernias posteriores de la columna lumbar inferior a las que puede resultar difícil acceder mediante un abordaje transforaminal. Además, la discectomía interlaminar produce menos alteraciones tisulares y musculares, tiempos de recuperación más breves y un retorno y un retorno mas rápido a las actividades que los procedimientos de reparación abierta tradicionales.1-4 Los instrumentos endoscópicos WishBone™ ofrecen una sensación táctil y una ergonomía mejoradas que facilitan el uso invertido y retrógrado con cualquier manos.

Discectomía endoscópica interlaminar

Child (D)

Endoscopic lateral recess decompression is an ultra-minimally invasive technique designed to relieve nerve pressure caused by a specific form of spinal stenosis, where the central canal remains open but the lateral recess compresses the traversing nerve root. This often-overlooked pathology is a common cause of unilateral or bilateral radiculopathy. By utilizing the interlaminar corridor, surgeons can precisely remove compressive bone and tissue with minimal disruption to surrounding anatomy. Patients typically experience significant pain relief and improved mobility shortly after surgery.1 Long-term studies suggest these benefits are durable, with low reoperation rates.2

Corte transversal de la rama medial

Minimally invasive endoscopic cervical foraminotomy and decompression is designed to treat cervical radiculopathy and other conditions that compress the nerve root. Utilizing an endoscope, surgeons can directly visualize and remove compressive pathology such as disc herniations, osteophytes, and hypertrophic ligaments. This technique minimizes soft-tissue disruption, reduces blood loss, allows for quicker recovery, and has demonstrated high clinical success rates, with a systematic review reporting 91.3% overall and up to 94.2% for posterior approaches.1,2 Additionally, long-term follow-ups show lasting symptom relief, high patient satisfaction, and a lower risk of adjacent segment disease compared to traditional ACDF surgery.3
Potential applications include treatment of cervical radiculopathy, herniated cervical discs, cervical spondylosis, foraminal stenosis, and osteophytes (bone spurs). Research supports its effectiveness in treating both soft disc herniations, where the nucleus pulposus compresses the nerve root, and hard disc herniations caused by calcified disc material.4 A lower incidence of spinal instability has also been reported, suggesting a reduced need for future spinal fusion procedures.5
Careful patient selection is key to optimal surgical outcomes; those with major deformity, instability, or large central herniations may require alternative surgery. With proper selection and advancing technology, this method remains a safe, effective, and motion-preserving option for cervical nerve decompression.1
