Interspinous Process Decompression: Expanding Treatment Options for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Interspinous process decompression is a minimally invasive implantation procedure employing a stand-alone interspinous spacer that functions as an extension blocker to prevent compression of neural elements without direct surgical removal of tissue adjacent to the nerves. The Superion® spacer is the only FDA approved stand-alone device available in the US. It is also the only spacer approved by...
متن کاملMicroendoscopic lumbar discectomy: technical note.
OBJECTIVE The microendoscopic discectomy (MED) technique was initially developed in 1997 to treat herniated lumbar disc disease. Since then, thousands of cases have been successfully performed at more than 500 institutions. This article discusses the technical aspects of this procedure and presents a consecutive case series. METHODS A total of 150 consecutive patients underwent MED. MED is pe...
متن کاملTechnique of microvascular decompression. Technical note.
Vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve in the cerebellopontine angle is now generally accepted as the primary source or "trigger" causing trigeminal neuralgia. A clear clinicopathological association exists in the neurovascular relationship. In general, pain in the third division of the trigeminal nerve is caused by rostral compression, pain in the second division is caused by medial or m...
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 کاملInterspinous process device versus standard conventional surgical decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis: randomized controlled trial
STUDY QUESTION Is interspinous process device implantation more effective in the short term (eight weeks) than conventional surgical decompression for patients with intermittent neurogenic claudication due to lumbar spinal stenosis? SUMMARY ANSWER The use of interspinous implants did not result in a better outcome than conventional decompression, but the reoperation rate was significantly hig...
