Development of minimally invasive approaches and the improvement in new magnification technologies allowed a better and safer surgical treatment for these complex spinal injuries. We reported our experience in the minimally invasive surgical treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures with spinal cord compression supported by high-definition (HD) three-dimensional (3D) Video-assisted telescope operating monitor (VITOM) or exoscope.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>To assess the role and potential advantages of exoscope in the minimally invasive surgery of traumatic thoracolumbar spinal cord compression comparing traditional magnification systems.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Setting<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The study was conducted in a Northern Italy Spinal Trauma Center.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We reported 10 consecutive thoracolumbar (T11-L2) burst fractures associated with spinal cord compression treated with minimally invasive corpectomy and exoscope-assisted spinal decompression. Three main indicators were retrospectively analyzed: surgical time, blood loss, and intraoperative complications. The data were compared with those obtained from an equal sample of 10 procedures performed by the same surgeon with the same technique, but traditional microscope assisted. User impressions in terms of ergonomics, magnification, and image quality were rated differently.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A small reduction of surgical time and blood loss were observed in the exoscope assisted group. There were no intraoperative complications attributed to visualization mode or conversion to the traditional microscope in any procedure. In our experience the exoscope allowed a better magnification and image definition with better ergonomics and user-friendliness.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In our preliminary experience the exoscope new technology is a safe and effective tool for spinal cord minimally invasive decompression in thoracolumbar burst fractures. The stereoscopic vision provided by 3D images seems to be crucial in hand eye coordination. There are clear advantages in terms of maneuverability, wide field of view, deep focus, and more comfortable posture for the spinal surgeon.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00590-022-03319-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,26]],"date-time":"2022-07-26T03:31:19Z","timestamp":1658806279000},"page":"2173-2177","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Spinal cord compression in thoracolumbar burst fractures: application of high-definition three-dimensional exoscope in minimally invasive lateral surgery"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Pietro Domenico","family":"Giorgi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6690-696X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Ludovica","family":"Pallotta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simona","family":"Legrenzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michele","family":"Nardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manzoni","family":"Andrea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe Rosario","family":"Schir\u00f2","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"3319_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"124","DOI":"10.1007\/s0010140-005-0457-5","volume":"12","author":"FV Bensch","year":"2006","unstructured":"Bensch FV, Koivikko MP, Kiuru MJ, Koskinen SK (2006) The incidence and distribution of burst fractures.
