Abstract
The study objective is to determine the feasibility and effectiveness evaluation of full-endoscopic surgery in gunshot wound of the lumbar spine.
Materials and methods. A clinical case of a 24-year-old male who received a gunshot wound to the lumbar spine is described. The patient underwent a full-endoscopic intervention aimed at extracting a bullet from the spinal canal.
Results. Minimal-invasive approach to spinal canal with the possibility to extract a bullet, decompression of nerve roots, defect closure of the dura mater is demonstrated.
Conclusion. Good clinical outcome allows to recommend the full-endoscopic surgery with similar gunshot wounds of the lumbar spine at the stage of specialized care.
