Abstract

Objective: In this report the author presents surgery-related outcomes after application of a new technique: Percutaneous interlaminar endoscopic decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis at Viet Duc university hospital. Methods: The records of 15 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous interlaminar endoscopic decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis at Viet Duc university hospital from 09/2020 to 02/2021. Results: There were 15 cases (9 men, 6 women). Macnab outcome grade was good to excellent in 93.34% of patients. The average dural sac area (DSA) value was 75.65±30.32mm2 preoperative and DSA value was 101.89±42.68mm2 postoperative. Dural tear occurred in 1 case. Conclusions: The preliminary result of this Percutaneous interlaminar endoscopic decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis technique is encouraging and the procedure is safe. However, we need long-term follow-up and a more detailed study for more accurate results of this technique.
