Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The classic laminectomy for surgical treatment of spinal stenosis has considerable morbidity .This is further magnified by the disease being more common in elderly with associated medical comorbidities and being usually global involving multiple levels.The purpose of this study is to present and to evaluate a new endoscopic technique named Irrigation Endoscopic Decompressive Laminotomy (IEDL) for lumbar spinal canal decompression.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In the IEDL group,2 portals 0.5cm were used one for the endoscope and the other for instruments. For every additional level one portal is added. The endoscope and instruments are directly placed over the surface of lamina without any dissection and saline under pump pressure is used to open a potential working space. Unilateral laminotomy and bilateral decompression under endoscopic vision is performed. In the microsurgical group, bilateral fenestration is performed in the usual manner

irrigation endoscopic decompression

endoscopic decompression is performed for cases of lumbar spinal stenosis.Portals 0.5cm in size are used for the introduction of the instruments and the endoscope. Saline under pump pressure is used to open a potential working space. This is followed by performing an ipsilateral hemilaminotomy and contralateral decompression under the midline structure

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

open lumbar decompression

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A posterior midline incision is performed over the affected levels. Bilateral subperiosteal dissection of the paraspinal muscles is performed. Bilateral hemilaminotomies, foraminotomies and lateral recess decompression is performed followed by wound closure
