  ABSTRACT: Study design: Description of a technique through a case-series. Objective: To promote a technique by using a gamma probe that asses intraoperatively the adequacy of the lesion curettage through a minimal invasive procedure. Methods: Reviewing the technique steps through 4 cases of osteoid osteoma surgical removal. Results: Four patients diagnosed with osteoid osteoma and moved to surgical removal. During the operation, excision of the tumour was assessed by a gamma probe, avoiding leaving residual lesion in the field. Operating time was not prolonged, so as the cost of the operation was not increased. Conclusions: Surgical excision of osteoid osteoma in spine region is still the gold standard method. Avoiding recurrence of the lesion is important. The use of gamma probe is an effective and economic solution.
