In the evolving landscape of spinal surgery, technological advancements play a pivotal role in enhancing surgical outcomes and patient experiences. This paper delves into the cutting-edge technologies underpinning endoscopic spine surgery (ESS), specifically highlighting the innovations in scope cameras, RF equipment, and drills. The modern scope camera, with its capability for high-resolution imaging, offers surgeons unparalleled visualization, enabling precise interventions. Radiofrequency (RF) equipment has emerged as a crucial tool, providing efficient energy delivery for tissue modulation without significant collateral damage. Drills, with their enhanced torque and adaptability, allow for meticulous bone work, ensuring structural integrity. As minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) becomes the standard, the integration and optimization of these technologies are paramount. This review captures the current state of these tools and anticipates their continued evolution, setting the stage for the next frontier in spinal surgery.
