Overview

Retrospective study shows significant improvements in outcomes for lumbar spinal stenosis, highlighting efficacy and safety of endoscopic decompression.

Key Points

  • Endoscopic decompression significantly improved walking distance without pain and reduced disability scores for lumbar spinal stenosis patients, indicating effective relief.
  • Clinical assessments showed a 95.45% rate of good-to-excellent outcomes according to the modified MacNab criteria, demonstrating substantial patient satisfaction.
  • This retrospective study method involved monitoring 176 cases over a 47.4 month follow-up, confirming the procedure's long-term effectiveness.
  • Overall, the safety of the unilateral interlaminar approach is supported as no significant spinal stability changes were found postoperatively.
