Efficacy of unilateral laminectomy for bilateral decompression in lumbar spinal stenosis.
OBJECTIVE We have conducted a prospective study to evaluate the results and effectiveness of bilateral decompression via a unilateral laminectomy in 50 patients with 98 levels of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis without instability. METHODS Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale, Oswestry Disability Index, Short Form-36, and subjective Satisfaction Measurement. RES...

متن کاملBilateral decompression and intervertebral fusion via unilateral fenestration for complex lumbar spinal stenosis with a mobile microendoscopic technique
For complex lumbar spinal stenosis, using of endoscopy technique may provide clear vision with less invasive dissection of paravertebral muscle. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of bilateral decompression and intervertebral fusion via unilateral fenestration for complex lumbar spinal stenosis using mobile microendoscopic discectomy (MMED) techniq...
متن کاملUnilateral Laminotomy with Bilateral Spinal Canal Decompression for Lumbar Stenosis: A Technical Note
Lumbar stenosis has become one of the most common spinal pathologies and one that results in neurogenic claudication, back and leg pain, and disability. The standard procedure is still an open laminectomy, which involves wide muscle retraction and extensive removal of the posterior spinal structures. This can lead to instability and the need for additional spinal fusion. We present a systemized...
متن کاملUnilateral laminotomy with bilateral decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis: short-term risks in elderly individuals.
The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the short-term (4 weeks) surgical complications after unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression (ULBD) in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, below and above age 65. Twenty-nine consecutive patients operated upon in 2011 were included: 12 below age 65, and 17 above age 65. Five complications (17.1%) were observed, all in the older age...
