respectively. The remaining nerves of the lumbar plexus include the iliohypogastric (T12-L1), ilioinguinal (L1), genitofemoral (L1-L2), and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of the thigh (L2-L3)—the
Lateral recess stenosis and spinal pathology can be addressed to a lesser or greater extent depending on the accessibility of the site and the expertise of the surgeon. Therefore, for optimal use of the technique, good knowledge of the intevertebral foramen and its contents, and the pathological...
and posteriorly by the superior articular process. The lateral recesses are best evaluated with axial CT or MRI. The minimum AP dimension of the lateral recess is variably placed at 3 or 4 mm. The nerve root continues to pass lateral and inferior, entering the intervertebral foramen. The tear...

In clinical practice, lateral recess stenosis and foraminal stenosis may induce nerve root compression which can cause unilateral symptoms. Unilateral PLIF may be satisfactory in patients with unilateral symptom. This study evaluated unilateral fusion in patients with unilateral symptoms. Posterior lumbar ...
If the bone spurs push medially (inside the spinal canal), then lateral recess stenosis occurs (crowding of the traversing nerve root). If the spurs form in front, foraminal stenosis results (crowding of the exiting nerve root). If the facet spurs tear the capsule, a ganglion cyst can ...

“lateral” indicates a direction toward a side of the body of a patient, i.e., away from the middle of the body of the patient, whereas the term “medial” refers to a position toward the middle of the body of a patient. The term “posterior” indicates a direction toward a patient...
