Intra-operative fluoroscopy exposure in endoscopic lumbar discectomies
Intra-operative fluoroscopy results in a relatively low radiation dose during endoscopic discectomy procedures. We found comparable radiation dose data between both endoscopic techniques (IELD and TELD). However, transforaminal techniques require more FT and it is a more demanding procedure.
