Abstract:
An endoscopic pedicle probe for use during spinal surgery to form a hole in a pedicle for reception of a pedicle screw has an enlarged proximal end for cooperation with the hand of the surgeon and an elongate shaft terminating in a distal tip that may be pushed through the pedicle to form the hole. The tip may be detachable for replacement. An endoscope extends through the shaft and is connected with a monitor to enable the surgeon to visually observe the area being treated. In a preferred form a light means extends through the shaft to illuminate the area being treated, and in a further preferred form a conduit extends through the shaft to convey a fluid to flush the area being treated. In a further embodiment, two endoscopes are associated with the probe.

Claim (Index 11):
The system of  claim 9 , wherein the probe further comprises a bore extending longitudinally through the shaft and through the tip, and an endoscope associated with the bore, the endoscope including a camera positioned at the distal end of the tip and being connected with an endoscopic monitor to provide a surgeon with a direct view of the area being treated.
