BLEED-LESS: a scoping review on blood loss elimination in endoscopic decompression-lessons and literature on endoscopic spine surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endoscopic spine surgery has emerged as a significant advancement in minimally invasive spinal procedures, with advantages including reduced tissue trauma, faster recovery, and improved patient outcomes. A critical component of these surgeries is effective haemostasis, essential for maintaining visual clarity, ensuring surgical efficiency, and minimising perioperative complications. A scoping review was conducted to examine current clinical practices and research on haemostasis in endoscopic spine surgery, with the aim of synthesising existing knowledge into a practical framework to guide surgeons in managing intraoperative bleeding in endoscopic spine surgery.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library, guid
