Περίληψη:
Endoscopy of the spinal canal, for interventional studies, diagnosis and
therapy, is a scientific topic that has attracted the interest of
neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists and orthopedic surgeons for the past
twenty years. Endoscopy of the thecal sac was assumed to be less
important than endoscopy of the ventricular system by neurosurgeons.
Nevertheless, during the last years it has attained increasing
scientific interest, firstly because of the introduction of small
diameter flexible endoscopes and secondly due to the growing interest
for minimal invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in modern
neurosurgery. Until now thecaloscopy was performed by the ISGT
(international Study Group for Thecaloscopy) using co-axial downward
orientated approaches. We have examined transsacral approaches to
facilitate the navigation of flexible scopes in the lumbosacral
subarachnoid space, and thus we now introduce further recognizable
endoscopic anatomic landmarks.
