Abstract
Purpose: To assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of lumbar endoscopic decompression for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) with concurrent degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS).
Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed 97 patients with LSS and DLS who underwent lumbar endoscopic decompression between 2016 and 2021. The average follow-up duration was 52.9 months. Another 97 LSS patients without DLS were selected as the control group. The pre- and postoperative visual analog score (VAS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) were recorded and analyzed to compare clinical outcomes. Radiological findings, such as coronal balance and intervertebral disc height, have also been reported.
Results: Both groups' mean VAS scores for back pain, leg pain, and ODI were significantly improved two weeks after surgery and at the final follow-up (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of surgical complications or patient satisfaction rates. However, patients in the DLS group reported more severe back pain at the final follow-up than those in the LSS group (p = 0.039). Radiological follow-up revealed no significant deterioration in coronal imbalance or loss of disc height in either group.
Conclusion: Lumbar endoscopic decompression can be a safe and effective surgical technique for treating LSS with DLS, particularly in elderly patients with poor general conditions.
期刊介绍：
Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles.
Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery.
Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact.
The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.
