MRI-based Surgical Planning for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
The most common reason for spinal surgery in elderly patients is lumbar spinal stenosis(LSS). For LSS, treatment decisions based on clinical and radiological information as well as personal experience of the surgeon shows large variance. Thus a standardized support system is of high value for a more objective and reproducible decision. In this work, we

Percutaneous transforaminal full endoscopic decompression for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background One advantage of an endoscopic approach to treating lumbar spinal stenosis is preservation of spine stability and the adjacent anatomy, and there is a decrease in adjacent segment disc degeneration. The purpose of this study was to discuss the
