Foraminal epidural endoscopic surgery (FEES) is a minimally invasive spine surgery technique that allows maximum exposure for visualization, identification, and exploration of anatomy, pathology, and structures at risk; therefore, it provides for dissection of neuropathologic anatomy and documentation of surgical correction. Minimal intervention with maximum surgical capability supports consideration of FEES as "microdiscectomy through a cannula."
椎间孔硬膜外内镜手术（FEES）是一种微创脊柱手术技术，它能实现最大程度的暴露，以便可视化、识别和探查解剖结构、病理情况及有风险的结构；因此，它有助于对神经病理解剖结构进行解剖，并记录手术矫正情况。以最小的干预实现最大的手术能力，这使得FEES可被视为“通过套管进行的显微椎间盘切除术”。
