A curated collection of endoscopic spine surgery techniques and lectures, taught step by step by our international faculty. Watch, learn, and refine your approach from your first transforaminal case to advanced cervicothoracic work.

Basic (Grade 1)

MBT

James J. Yue, MD

In this video, Professor James J. Yue, explains everything you need to know about medial branch transection (MBT).  He gave his speech during the 2025 Basic Course of the EndoSpine Academy in Zurich, Switzerland.

Live Surgery: IELD

Mazda Farshad, MD, MPH, FRCS

Prof. Dr. med. Mazda Farshad performs a live interlaminar endoscopic lumbar discectomy with real-time commentary. The case is graded Level 1a on the Farshad Scale, offering an ideal reference point for surgeons at the start of their endoscopic learning curve.

ICELF / LE-ULBD

Sohrab Gollogly, MD

Dr. Sohrab Gollogly presents on stenosis in endoscopic spine surgery and advanced approaches to contralateral pathologies, including Interlaminar Contralateral Endoscopic Lumbar Foraminotomy (ICELF) and Lumbar Endoscopic Unilateral Laminotomy for Bilateral Decompression (LE-ULBD).

Live Surgery: PECCD

Mazda Farshad, MD, MPH, FRCS

Watch Prof. Dr. med. Mazda Farshad perform a live Posterior Endoscopic Cervical Central Decompression at the EndoSpine Academy Advanced Course 2026 in Zurich, Switzerland. This procedure is among the most technically demanding approaches in the endoscopic spine spectrum. 

IELD

Jean-Yves Fournier; MD

PD Dr. med. Jean-Yves Fournier presents on Interlaminar Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (IELD), covering the anatomical approach, technical principles, and clinical considerations for surgeons developing their endoscopic skill set.

Complication Management

Saqib Hasan, MD

Dr. Saqib Hasan addresses complications in endoscopic spine surgery, including dural tears, intraoperative bleeding, and other common challenges. A candid and practical look at risk awareness and management for surgeons building their endoscopic practice.

Advanced (Grade 2 + 3)

PECF

Jin-Sung Luke Kim, MD, PhD

Luke Spinewalker presents on Posterior Endoscopic Cervical Foraminotomy (PECF), covering indications, surgical approach, and technical principles for surgeons looking to expand their endoscopic practice into the cervical spine.

TETD

Facundo van Isseldyk, MD

Dr. Facundo van Isseldyk delivers a focused lecture on Transforaminal Endoscopic Thoracic Discectomy. Classified as Level 3 on the Farshad Classification,  TETD represents the upper end of procedural complexity in endoscopic spine surgery. 

TELD

Sohrab Gollogly, MD

Dr. Sohrab Gollogly presents on Transforaminal Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy (TELD), covering key principles, technique, and clinical application for surgeons building their endoscopic spine practice.
