Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Sequelae and complications following endoscopic surgery of the cervical spine are rare. They may range from neuropraxia, temporary and self-limiting loss of sensation, motor strength, loss of the voice due to recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, vascular and dural leaks to full-blown spinal cord injury with tetraplegia in the worst cases. In this chapter, the authors systematically review the most concerning problems the endoscopic spine surgeon may run into and discuss their management in the context of the most up-to-date peer-reviewed literature. Surgeon training and high skill level are of the utmost importance in minimizing potentially grave outcomes from the cervical spine's endoscopic spine surgery.
