Spine endoscopic surgery establishment for disc disease (Neurocore-SENSED): an open and decentralized consensus.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) has evolved considerably, yet there remains a lack of consensus on patient selection, technical specifications, and outcome reporting. This heterogeneity hinders collaborative efforts to establish comprehensive evidence-based practices.
