Complications

In this chapter, we describe surgery-related complications for transforaminal full-endoscopic surgery. Unlike the inter laminar approach, there are special complications such as exiting nerve root injury, seizure, etc. Surgeons should be aware of these co

Preface

The purpose of this textbook is to provide a comprehensive overview of transforaminal (TF) full-endoscopic lumbar spine surgery (FESS) under local anesthesia. This technique started more than two decades ago, and it was introduced in Japan in 2003 by Professor Dezawa, my mentor. In the two decades, the endoscopic technique and equipment have evolved greatly and rapidly. However even now, we do not have appropriate textbooks on this technique in Japanese and in English. I am a professor and chairman in the Department of Orthopedics at Tokushima University, Japan. I am the only professor in Japan who has been conducting TF-FESS. So far, I have instructed my technique to many fellows in my department. Thus, many surgeons have been doing full-endoscopic spine surgery in Tokushima University and affiliated hospitals. In Japan, Tokushima would be Mecca of TF-FESS, I hope. This textbook covers almost all areas of TF-FESS, including its history
