Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Contralateral Interlaminar Approach for Treating the Lumbar Foraminal-Extraforaminal Stenosis
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.
