  Introduction: Traditional interventional pain management only provides temporary relief that depend on the patient’s natural healing to mitigate pain. Visualizing the patho-anatomy with an endoscope targeting the pathoanatomy by interventional needle trajectories, however, has opened the door for surgical decompression and ablation of the pain generators. Endoscopic spine surgery is effective using mobile cannulas to target the pain source facilitated by surgical visualization and decompression and ablation using an endoscope. New instrumentation, techniques, specially configured endoscopes, access cannulas, RF and laser modalities all facilitate effective surgical treatment of the pain generator. While traditional translaminar surgical approaches provide open access to spinal pathology, there are conditions better suited for an endoscopic approach, especially w.. Read More»
