Abstract
Epiduroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic technique that was introduced in clinical practice in early 1990s. We have performed a systematic review of side effects and complications reported in literature. Troubleshooting to prevent or reduce complications has been proposed. Dural puncture and fluid injection overpressure were the main causes of complications. According to the published evidence, conventional epiduroscopy is a safe procedure with no mortality and little morbidity.
