Feasibility of Dural Suturing in Uniportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery: A Novel Technique Demonstrated Through a Surgical Video
This study aims to demonstrate a novel technique for dural suturing using a uniportal endoscopic approach in spinal surgery. Although this procedure presents inherent challenges due to the limited working space and visibility, it can be optimized by using specialized endoscopic instruments to ensure precision and efficiency. This technique enables the immediate repair of unintended dural injuries through the same endoscopic route, without the need to convert to open surgery. Therefore, it offers a minimally invasive solution for dural repair, reducing patient recovery time and minimizing surgical risks.
