When to use TESSYS® and when to use iLESSYS® ?
TESSYS® and iLESSYS® offer two alternative minimally invasive endoscopic approaches to the spinal canal. Generally all lumbar levels can be treated with either approach. Transforaminal access to the spinal canal is mostly preferred by experienced users for all pathology in the ventral and lateral spinal canal and the foramina. The interlaminar approach is indispensable for pathology dorsal to the dura but may also be preferred in levels L4/5 and L5/S1. There the interlaminar window is large enough to allow visualization with minimal bone removal and very limited resection of the ligamentum flavum.
