Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
An increasingly aging population has led to the rapid increase in degenerative spinal diseases. In order to maintain a high quality of life, there is a need for a minimally invasive spinal surgical tool option. Endoscopic spinal surgery is the field of spinal surgery that best meets contemporary needs. It has developed steadily over the past 20 years, and its scope of application has been expanding.
This Special Issue examines the present and future of endoscopic surgery.
