    Abstract Synovial spinal cysts cause radiculopathy and back pain, with rare reports of cauda equina syndrome. Hypermobility and instability are cornerstones for synovial cyst formation. The incidence is around 5%, and data for bilateral cysts are lacking. Surgery is indicated after conservative measures fail. Recurrence is common and is potentially due to joint violation and destabilization from open surgery. This could be prevented via ultra-minimally invasive approaches. The authors present full endoscopic removal of bilateral synovial cysts in a patient with grade 1 stable spondylolisthesis and include a 360° view for confirmation of complete decompression. Postoperatively, the patient reported immediate pain relief. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2024.1.FOCVID23208.

    Abstract Spontaneous CSF leaks frequently cause headaches, meningismus, and nausea due to intracranial hypotension. When conservative treatment fails, surgical repair is indicated. Especially ventral leaks necessitate invasive approaches with substantial blood loss and tissue trauma. Full endoscopic spine surgery (FESS) enables circumferential access via the transforaminal approach. Here, the authors show the successful repair of a ventral CSF leak in the thoracic spine after removal of bony osteophytes utilizing FESS with placement of a dural substitute and sealant. Lasting symptom relief was reported. These results suggest that FESS is safe and efficient for the repair of spontaneous and incidental CSF leaks.

    Abstract Purpose: Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are important tools to assess patient function, pain, disability, and quality of life. We aim to study the efficiency and validity of digital PROMs collection using a smartphone app compared to traditional paper PROMs.
    Methods: Patients undergoing evaluation for full-endoscopic spine surgery were recruited from the outpatient clinic at Harborview Medical Center. Visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), and EQ5-5D PROMs were administered on paper and through a smartphone app called SpineHealthie. Compliance rates were collected, and PROM results were assessed for correlation between paper and digital methods.
    Results: 123 patients were enrolled. 57.7% of patients completed paper PROMs, 82.9% completed digital PROMs, and 48.8% completed both. Of the patients that completed both, Spearman's correlation was greatest for VAS leg, ODI, and EQ5 index scores. Correlation was weaker for VAS back pain, neck pain, and upper extremity pain. Patients tended to report lower disability and higher quality of life on the digital PROM compared to the paper PROM.
    Conclusion: The SpineHealthie app effectively and accurately collects PROMs digitally, showing strong concordance with traditional paper PROMs. We conclude that digital PROMs constitute a promising strategy for monitoring patients after spine surgery over time.

    Abstract Innovations in spinal endoscopy technology and technique have broadened their applications during the past 10 years. Smaller outer-diameter working-channel endoscopes have permitted safe usage in the cervical spine for full endoscopic decompressions. Endoscopic fusions have now been widely reported, leveraging compatible instrumentation for disc preparation and expandable interbody grafts. This ultra-minimally invasive technique has also enabled the performance of fusion procedures in awake patients under monitored anesthesia care, affording speedier recovery and treatment options for those unable to undergo general anesthesia. Revision surgery after open or minimally invasive posterior discectomy or instrumentation can now be performed with endoscopic techniques, which often leverage the transforaminal approach to avoid scar tissue and adhesions. These procedures, among other endoscopic surgeries, are now being increasingly performed in ambulatory surgery centers, as safe outcomes, economic benefits to the healthcare system, and patients' desire to recover at home are becoming more apparent. Finally, the standardization of endoscopic terminology, which has long been a confounder to proper communication and education in this field, has recently been addressed by leading experts in a consensus document, which will serve as the foundation for future collaborative advancements.

    Abstract We present a remarkable image of a woman, 24 weeks pregnant, who sustained polytrauma after a high-speed motor vehicle collision. Evaluation revealed traumatic bilateral subdural hematoma in the fetus and an unstable T12-L1 fracture in the patient. The standard of care for her unstable fracture was surgical fixation; however, this was hampered by the desire to continue the pregnancy in the interest of the premature fetus. This case presented a unique additional consideration in the management of the polytrauma neurosurgery patient and underscores the importance of coordinated team work and patient counseling to achieve the optimal patient outcome.

    Abstract Introduction: The rising number of outpatient spine surgeries creates challenges in postoperative management and care. Telemedicine offers a unique opportunity to reduce in-person clinic visits and improve resource allocation. We aimed to investigate the impact of a validated smartphone application on clinic utilization following full-endoscopic spine surgery (FESS).
    Methods: We evaluated patients undergoing FESS from 2020 to 2022 and a pre-COVID control group (CG) from 2018 to 2019. Subsequently, we divided the patients into three groups: one using the application (intervention group, IG), and two CGs (2020-2022, CG and 2018-2019, historical control group (HG)). We analyzed the post-surgical hospitalization rate, all follow-ups, and virtually transmitted patient-reported outcomes.
    Results: A total of 115 patients were included in the IG. The CG consisted of 137 and the HG of 202 patients (CG and HG in the following). Group homogeneity was satisfactory regarding patient age (
    Conclusion: Our results underline the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of remote patient monitoring following FESS. Furthermore, they highlight the opportunity to implement a virtual wound checkup, and to substantially improve postoperative follow-up compliance via telemedicine.

    Abstract The patient is a 22-year-old male with a history of C1 avulsion fracture causing vertebral artery compression with pseudoaneurysm and symptomatic stroke. Cerebral angiography demonstrated dynamic compression of the V3 segment of the vertebral artery due to a chronic C1 avulsion fracture. The authors utilized a full endoscopic approach with intraoperative angiography for proximal control and Doppler ultrasound to confirm adequate decompression. The surgery duration was 3 hours with blood loss < 5 ml. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 1 with no complication and has been asymptomatic since surgery. This is the first documented use of endoscopic decompression to treat this condition. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2024.1.FOCVID23234.
