Abstrakt: Minimally invasive techniques including closed laparoscopy and thoracoscopy as well as video-assisted procedures using limited open incisions provide an excellent alternative for treating vertebral osteomyelitis and tuberculous infections in the thoracic and lumbar spine. The traditional principles of surgical debridement and a stable interbody fusion are unchanged when applying endoscopic techniques.
