Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper describes the technique of interlaminar endoscopic surgery guided by a portable ultrasound device. This innovation allows endoscopic surgery to be performed without the use of real-time radiography, which is associated with a higher risk of radiation damage. The portable wireless ultrasound device used for this technique, which has not been yet described in the world literature for minimally invasive surgeries, can be used as an imaging tool to delimit the interlaminar space in minimally invasive surgeries via both transverse and sagittal views. Level of evidence I; Quality of evidence A.
