Indirect Decompression for the Treatment of Degenerative Lumbar Stenosis. [PDF]
Surgical treatment of symptomatic lumbar stenosis has traditionally included laminectomy for direct decompression. With increasing options for lumbar interbody fusion, there has been growing interest in indirect decompression to treat degenerative stenosis.

Single-position robot-assisted lateral lumbar corpectomy with minimally invasive posterior spinal fusion for traumatic burst fracture showing MRI-demonstrated indirect decompression: illustrative case. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Ligamentotaxis-based indirect decompression using lateral approaches is well described for degenerative lumbar disease, yet its application in managing burst fractures remains underexplored.

Efficacy of Indirect Decompression by Posterior Longitudinal Ligament Ligamentotaxis in Minimally Invasive Oblique Lateral Interbody Fusion (MIS-OLIF) Without Posterior Decompression for Degenerative Lumbar Disease. [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Indirect decompression through restoration of disc and foraminal height with a large lateral interbody cage has been advocated for selected patients, but its efficacy in a large series remains unproven. In this retrospective study,

An optimal disc height changes for successful indirect decompression with OLIF. [PDF]
This retrospective study included 63 patients in whom 104 vertebral levels were surgically involved. Data on the efficacy of oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) for canal and foraminal stenosis of the lumbar spine were analyzed for a follow-up period as long as one year post-surgery. The factors associated with successful indirect decompression were

Current status of indirect decompression with lateral lumbar interbody fusion. [PDF]
The adoption of lumbar fusion techniques, particularly lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), has significantly evolved the management of degenerative lumbar spinal conditions. LLIF, introduced as a minimally invasive surgical procedure, offers the advantage of indirect neural decompression and robust bone fusion using large interbody cages, reducing ...
