Thoracic discectomies are among the most challenging cases spine surgeons face. Full-endoscopic surgery has made a significant impact, drastically reducing perioperative morbidity. As we prepare for the upcoming AO Spine webinar with Roger Härtl Juan Uribe, MD Albert Telfeian – MISS Nov 13 at 8PM, I’m excited to share five essential tips to help master these complex procedures: 1️⃣ Feel the Bump Thoracic disc herniations are often located ventrally to the spinal cord, making an optimized approach trajectory essential for safe access. We've identified the angle of the rib—easily palpable and approximately 8cm off the midline— as a reliable landmark. The incision is made slightly lateral, and a joimax Jamshidi needle is then advanced to the target under tactile control. Notice (see arrow) how easily the skin can be lifted, enhancing access. On combination with a “spared bar”, his lateral entry approach facilitates a nearly lateral trajectory, providing a safer and more effective technique. Stay tuned for more insights! #ESRG #Endospine #iSERF #Joimax #AOspine
