This study evaluated endoscopic debridement for treating paravertebral abscesses in patients with spinal tuberculosis. Compared to conventional surgery, it significantly improved surgery time, blood loss, hospital stay, pain relief, and neurological outcomes, with fewer complications and no recurrences. These findings highlight its efficacy and safety. Further long-term studies are recommended.
