Dear colleagues,

Cervical and lumbar disc herniation is a common problem requiring discectomy. In general, open spinal discectomy is associated with muscle and ligamentum avum dissection which can cause scaring and long-term side effects. In order to make cervical and lumbar disc surgery minimally invasive, Dr. Sebastian Ruetten has developed a Richard wolf endoscope for both cervical and lumbar discectomy. His operative techniques signicantly reduce the risks of these potential complications.

The endoscopic cervical and lumbar discectomy is another step advance from cervical and lumbar microdiscectomy that is performed with the use of the operating microscope. The surgical visualization by an endoscope is better than with the operating microscope. Because an endoscope can enter into surgical anatomy and has a capability to look around with 25-degree lens unlike the operating microscope that views the surgical site from a distance, endoscopic discectomy requires a smaller incision and less tissue dissection than microscopic discectomy. Obviously, this minimally invasive, less traumatic, endoscopic cervical and lumbar discectomy leads to excellent results, faster recovery, and signicant economic saving, which is extremely gratifying for both the patient and the surgeon.

This time we include more advanced lecture and workshop table for recess decompression surgery with the new scope. We have accomplished this technique for a couple of years with good results. We will devote ourselves to further development in the eld of minimally invasive spine surgery. In this situation, we are very grateful for your participation. We hope that this training course will offer great opportunities for neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons to communicate, exchange experiences and upgrade their expertise which would eventually lead to further development and innovation in this eld.
