Abstract
Endoscopic spine surgery has been developed as a minimally invasive technique for decompression in patients with lumbar disc herniation or lumbar stenosis. Recent reports have described the use of endoscopic technology in lumbar fusion surgeries, especially for transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). This review aimed to summarize the current techniques of endoscopic TLIF and to discuss the benefits, limitations, and future perspectives of endoscopic lumbar fusion surgery.
