Lumbar spine stenosis surgery: laminectomy vs microdecompression.The article examines the effect of lumbar spine stenosis surgery in back and leg pain numbness and walking impairment, highlighting the procedure of laminectomy versus microdecompression....
The effect of incidental durotomy on outcome, however, remains uncertain.Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial cohort participants with a confirmed diagnosis of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis undergoing standard first-time open decompressive laminectomy, with or without fusion, were followed from ...
MIS laminectomy/laminotomy can provide good results of decompression of spinal stenosis as compared with COS23,24. To our knowledge, no study comparing postoperative DSCSA changes between COS and MIS has been published. DSCSA has been reported to be significantly associated with clinical outcomes afte...
Conventional laminectomy violates posterior stability and foraminotomy limits access to the neural tissues. Different techniques have been developed for adequate decompression with preservation of posterior stabilizing structures. METHODS Degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis in 22 cases was treated by laminectomy...
48 The surgical options are similar to those for spondylolisthesis (eg, decompression alone or decompression with a fusion). In terms of decompression, laminectomy has been considered to be the gold standard, but less destabilizing techniques have been explored. For example, a study showed that ...
Currently, the main techniques of posterior decompression can be divided into five categories: conventional laminotomy/laminectomy (CL), unilateral laminotomy/laminectomy (UL), bilateral laminotomy/laminectomy (BL), spinous process splitting laminotomy/laminectomy (SPSL), and spinous process osteotomy (...
(Fig.2). From that point, a monopolar was used to remove the soft tissue in caudal-to-cranial direction, away from the laminotomy defect and scar (Fig.3). Once the edge of the lamina was clearly visible, the tube retractor was tilted medially to visualize the laminectomy defect ...
A decompression surgery removes bone that is encroaching on these nerves and is named for the piece of bone that is removed. For example, a laminectomy removes a piece of vertebrae adjacent to the spinous process (or pokey part of your back). A fusion is another type of surgery in which...
The prevalence of lumbar spinal injection was significantly higher in the diabetes group than in the control group (13.9% vs. 8.6%; p < 0.0001) (Fig. 3). Furthermore, the diabetes group had more lumbar laminectomy (1.8% vs. 1.0%; p < 0.0001), and lumbar fusion surgery (0.8...
Laminectomy, facectomy, discectomy, cage insertion and transpedicle screw insertion were performed sequentially after testing the intact status. Changes in range of motion (ROM) and neutral zone (NZ) were compared between unilateral and bilateral cage-instrumented PLIF. Results Both ROM and NZ, ...
