Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

In this review, the authors aim to delve into endoscopic spine surgery (ESS), specifically highlighting the innovations in scope cameras, radiofrequency (RF) equipment, and drills. As minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) becomes the standard, the integration and optimization of these technologies are paramount. This review not only captures the current state of these tools but also envisions their future, setting the stage for the next frontier in spinal surgery. Based on my evaluation, I believe that this work has the potential to make a significant contribution to the field. To make the manuscript more profound, we suggest adding the following modifications:

 1.     Please add "radiofrequency" before the abbreviation "RF" in the line 16 at the abstract.

2.     In the introduction, it would be beneficial to discuss the types of spinal surgeries that commonly employ ESS techniques.

3.     In the Discussion and Future Directions section, it would be valuable to mention the companies that produce ESS devices and their role in advancing this field.
