Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression for Spinal Stenosis
Over 1.2 million patients are diagnosed with, and in active treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) at any given time. Typically, these patients experience discomfort while walking or standing, for any length of time. The LSS treatment algorithm contains a gap of under-treated patients between epidural steroid injections (ESI) and open surgery. With the introduction of a minimally invasive l...
متن کاملNew image-guided ultra-minimally invasive lumbar decompression method: the mild procedure.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Lumbar canal stenosis is a common source of chronic low back and leg pain. Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (mild(R)) is a new minimally invasive treatment for pain relief from symptomatic central lumbar canal stenosis. The procedure involves limited percutaneous laminotomy and thinning of the ligamentum flavum in order to increase the critical diameter of the s...
متن کاملLumbar Spinous Process-Splitting Laminoplasty: A Novel Technique for Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression.
Minimally invasive posterior spinous process-splitting laminoplasty preserving the paraspinal musculature has been introduced to treat patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Despite its theoretical advantage of limiting muscular trauma, additional efforts are required to evaluate patients' clinical and functional results following this procedure. Between 2010 and 2012, 37 patients underwent spin...
متن کاملMinimally Invasive Genioplasty Procedure
In this technical note, we present a new surgical approach for genioplasty in which a minimally invasive procedure is used to perform the chin osteotomy. The main goal was to reduce postoperative functional recovery time and possible complications, especially reduction of lip incompetence, chin ptosis, and muscle dysfunction, by retaining the intactness of the mentalis muscles.
متن کاملRetrospective review of patient self-reported improvement and post-procedure findings for mild (minimally invasive lumbar decompression).
BACKGROUND Lumbar spinal stenosis and neurogenic claudication functionally impact thousands of patients per year. Those who fail conservative therapies and are not surgical candidates due to co-morbid conditions have few interventional options available. The recently described mild® procedure (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression) is a candidate to fill this void. While 2 studies have report...
