Abstract: Endoscopic spine surgery markedly improved in the last ten years and still is continuing to improve. Due to less soft tissue damage and shorter time to return to normal life for patients, interest to this type of surgery is increasing. Definition of safe access zone for transforaminal approach by Kambin & Gelman [1] and in following years arthroscopic micro discectomy technique defined by Kambin [2] was effective in the improvement of endoscopic spinal surgery [1,2]. Today endoscope is used in cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal surgery.
