Overview

Prospective study shows significant improvement in pain and function using PELF in patients with foraminal stenosis.

Key Points

  • Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar foraminotomy significantly improves pain scores after surgery.
  • Study participants showed a notable reduction in both back and leg pain measured by VAS scores (P < 0.001).
  • The Oswestry Disability Index scores improved consistently up to two years post-surgery, indicating better functional status.
  • Overall, 94.5% of participants experienced symptom improvement, showcasing the effectiveness of PELF.
