They emphasize the rationale behind endoscopic repair, including lower patient morbidity and faster recovery times. The speaker also explains the importance of splitting the IT band during surgery, as it improves visualization and may lead to better outcomes. They then detail the endoscopic repair setup, including the use of specific portals and suture passing techniques.
