Both decompression methods are feasible for curing TSS with OLF and DO. Moreover, slitting the dura for ossified dura and ligamentum flavum removal to relax the spinal cord is a safe and reliable method. Even though it increased the surgical difficulties and risks, DO did not affect ...

Objective: Fibrosis around the dura is a concern in spinal surgery, affecting outcomes. Ligamentum flavum (LF) sparing and anti-adhesion barrier gel are potential strategies. This study aimed to compare LF-sparing and anti-adhesion barrier gels in reducing dural fi...
This approach had several advantages: (1) The flavum serves as a protective barrier for the dura during drilling. (2) There is less epidural bleeding, which provides (3) better visualization. (4) In an inadvertent durotomy, this usually occurs later in the procedure, whic...

However, the use of endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion does not completely eliminate the risk of dural and nerve ...
Ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) in the thoracic region can cause spinal cord compression and significantly affect the patient's neurological function. Surgical treatment is recommended. However, it is associated with a significant profile of complications. The most common are dural tears ...
When the ligamentum flavum's superficial layer is selectively released, the inferoventral slip of the ligamentum flavum's deep layer remains attached to the anterosuperior surface of the caudal lamina and remains between the surgeon and the dura....

Here, the authors report an unusual case of dorsal spinal cord herniation at the thoracolumbar junction presenting with scalloping of ossification of the ...
Surgical intervention is typically recommended for thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (TOLF). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel non-coaxial one-hole split endoscope (OSE) technique for treating TOLF. We performed OSE procedure on 13 patients with TOLF ...
