Lumbar foraminal stenosis is not an isolated pathology; it frequently coexists with lateral recess and extraforaminal stenosis [1]. The surgical management of these combined pathologies during decompression procedures presents significant technical challenges, regardless of whether a transforaminal or interlaminar endoscopic approach is employed. If left untreated, stenosis may lead to persistent symptoms, which can necessitate additional surgical interventions to alleviate patient discomfort.

摘要

Lumbar foraminal stenosis is not an isolated pathology; it frequently coexists with lateral recess and extraforaminal stenosis [1]. The surgical management of these combined pathologies during decompression procedures presents significant technical challenges, regardless of whether a transforaminal or interlaminar endoscopic approach is employed. If left untreated, stenosis may lead to persistent symptoms, which can necessitate additional surgical interventions to alleviate patient discomfort.
