Implication

Retrospective study demonstrates significant pain relief and enlarged foramen area in lumbar spinal stenosis patients, indicating effective minimally invasive lateral canal decompression.

Key Points

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of nerve root decompression using a multiple planar endoscope via a transforaminal approach for lumbar lateral recess spinal stenosis.
Retrospectively analyzed 52 patients treated between January 2017 and March 2019 for lumbar spinal stenosis or stenosis combined with intervertebral disc herniation, alongside facet joint and ligamentum flavum hyperplasia.
Performed percutaneous transforaminal approach multiple planar endoscopic decompression to alleviate lateral spinal canal stenosis.
Assessed outcomes preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 days, 3 months, 6 months, and final follow-up using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and horizontal foramen cross-sectional area.
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores improved significantly from baseline at 3 days, 3 months, 6 months, and final follow-up (P < 0.05).
Intervertebral foramen cross-sectional area increased significantly from 422.5 ± 159.2 mm² preoperatively to 890.8 ± 367.7 mm² postoperatively (P < 0.05).
