Tubular endoscopic spine surgery (TESS) for lumbar laminotomy: a technical feasibility study of a hybrid approach

Abstract Purpose Percutaneous endoscopic spine surgery and tubular minimally invasive surgery (MIS) each offer distinct advantages but also important limitations. We describe a proof-of-concept study of a hybrid technique—tubular endoscopic spine surgery (TESS)—combining a tubula...
