Summary: The study evaluated the treatment efficacy of lateral spinal stenosis through multiple planar endoscopic decompression for 52 patients. Results showed significant improvements in VAS and ODI scores at postoperative 3 days, 3 months, 6 months, and the last follow-up. The intervertebral foramen area also significantly increased postoperatively.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of unilateral biportal endoscopic decompression (UBE) and percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression (PTED) in the treatment of elderly patients with single-level lumbar lateral recess stenosis (LRS). The results showed that PTED and UBE achieved favorable outcomes in treating single-level LRS. UBE had advantages in operative time and X-ray times, while PTED offered better estimates of blood loss, incision length, and drainage volume.

Summary: This study compared the safety and short-term clinical efficacy of two surgical techniques (PTED and MIS-TLIF) for the treatment of lateral recess stenosis associated with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis in geriatric patients. The results showed that both PTED and MIS-TLIF led to favorable outcomes, but PTED had advantages in terms of shorter operative time, less trauma, and fewer complications. Therefore, PTED could be used as a supplement to MIS-TLIF in the treatment of this condition in geriatric patients.

Summary: This study investigated the correlation between postoperative imaging parameters and clinical outcomes in patients with foraminal stenosis (FS) and lateral recess stenosis (LRS) undergoing percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal decompression (PETD). The results showed that PETD achieved good clinical outcomes in both LRS and FS patients. Postoperative facet joint length was negatively correlated with clinical outcomes in LRS patients, while the variation in foraminal width and nerve root-facet distance in FS patients were positively correlated with clinical outcomes.

Summary: This study compared the results of PTED and short-segment fusion for treating mild degenerative lumbar scoliosis combined with spinal stenosis in older adults. The PTED group showed significantly shorter operative time, blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative bed rest, and complication rate compared to the short-segment fusion group.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to share the long-term clinical outcomes and experience with full-endoscopic interlaminar decompression (FEI) for lateral recess stenosis (LRS). The results showed that FEI had good effectiveness in treating LRS, with 93.02% of patients experiencing significant pain relief and satisfaction at three months post-surgery. However, during the 10-year follow-up, it was found that some patients required reoperation to improve symptoms.

Summary: This retrospective study investigated the effects of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression (PTED) for lumbar stenosis associated with adult degenerative scoliosis. The results showed that PTED may be an effective and safe method for geriatric patients with this condition. The predictors for low back pain outcomes were severe Cobb angle and high degree lateral subluxation.

Summary: This study aimed to demonstrate the surgical technique and clinical outcomes of transforaminal endoscopic lumbar foraminotomy (TELF) for the treatment of juxta-fusional foraminal stenosis. Full-scale foraminal decompression was performed via a transforaminal endoscopic approach under local anesthesia. After a two-year follow-up period, the visual analog scale and Oswestry Disability Index scores significantly improved, with a 90.91% symptomatic improvement rate and no significant surgical complications.

Summary: This study explored the endoscopic decompression method for adult isthmic spondylolisthesis. The results showed that the transforaminal approach yielded less satisfactory outcomes, possibly due to the broad spanning isthmic spur extending to the adjacent lateral recess. Therefore, the craniocaudal interlaminar approach was proposed as a better option for surgical treatment of adult isthmic spondylolisthesis.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the incidence and predictors of reoperation in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) treated with percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal decompression (PETD). The results showed that the incidence of reoperation was 6.7% in a mean follow-up of 3 years. Younger age was identified as the independent predictor for reoperation. Younger patients with a duration of symptoms >= 12 months or without heart problems were more likely to undergo a second operation.

Summary: Complications of PETD in treating LSS include rLSS, persistent lumbosacral or lower extremity pain, dural tear, incomplete decompression, surgical site infection, epidural hematoma, and intraoperative posterior neck pain. Furthermore, older age, severe grade of surgical-level disc degeneration, and more disc degeneration levels significantly increase the incidence of complications.

Summary: We present a novel target-addressed unilateral biportal endoscopic technique to directly reach the lumbar lateral recess, particularly useful at L4-L5 and L5-S1. This technique requires specialized surgical tools, including expensive spinal endoscopic systems, and a steeper learning curve. It follows an inclined-ipsilateral trajectory to preserve the lateral extension of ligamentum flavum and the facet joint as much as possible.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of repeat percutaneous endoscopic lumbar decompression (PELD) in lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) reoperation. The results showed that repeat PELD has a good clinical effect in improving pain and function in patients, and it is recommended for routine clinical practice.

Summary: This study compared the safety and clinical efficacy of PVP and PKP in treating KD, finding no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss and bone cement leakage between the two groups. PKP had significantly longer surgical time, higher operation costs, and more fluoroscopy times compared to PVP. Both procedures significantly improved pain and vertebral deformity, with PKP showing better results in height and kyphosis correction.
