Journal ArticleDOI
Biportal endoscopic versus microscopic lumbar decompressive laminectomy in patients with spinal stenosis: a randomized controlled trial
Sang Min Park,Jiwon Park,Ho Su Jang,Young Woo Heo,H.-S. Han,Ho Joong Kim,Bong Soon Chang,Choon Ki Lee,Jin S. Yeom +8 more
TL;DR: Despite the study design limitation of relatively short duration of follow-up, this trial suggests that biportal endoscopic decompressive laminectomy is an alternative to and offers similar clinical outcomes as microscopic open surgery in patients with symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biportal Endoscopic Spinal Surgery for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Ju-Eun Kim,Dae-Jung Choi,Eugene Jae Jin Park,Ho-Jin Lee,Jin Ho Hwang,Moon-Chan Kim,Jong-Seok Oh +6 more
TL;DR: Its wider range of view helps to overcome limitations of conventional endoscopic spinal surgery and to supplement the weak points of microscopic spinal surgery, such as limited working space in a tubular retractor and difficulty in accessing the contralateral area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Minimal Invasive Versus Biportal Endoscopic Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Single-level Lumbar Disease.
TL;DR: BE-TLif may be a viable alternative to MI-TLIF in patients with degenerative or isthmic spondylolisthesis with superior clinical results in the early postoperative period and may allow early ambulation and a shorter hospitalization period.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Systematic Review of Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Spinal Surgery: Preliminary Clinical Results and Complications.
Guang-Xun Lin,Peng Huang,Vit Kotheeranurak,Cheul-Woong Park,Dong Hwa Heo,Choon-Keun Park,Jeong Yoon Park,Jin-Sung Kim +7 more
TL;DR: Although the existing studies are limited to small size cohorts and short-term follow-up, based on the given preliminary results and experiences of current studies, UBE may be a feasible option for lumbar spinal surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cost-effectiveness of microdiscectomy versus endoscopic discectomy for lumbar disc herniation.
Kyung-Chul Choi,Hyeong-Ki Shim,Jin-Sung Kim,Kyung Han Cha,Dong Chan Lee,Ea Ran Kim,Mee Jung Kim,Choon-Keun Park +7 more
TL;DR: ED was more cost-effective compared with MD at 1-year follow-up, and there was no significant difference in the ICERs among the three endoscopic techniques.

The Oswestry Disability Index.
Jeremy Fairbank,Paul Pynsent +1 more
TL;DR: The ODI remains a valid and vigorous measure and has been a worthwhile outcome measure, and the process of using the ODI is reviewed and should be the subject of further research.

Clinical Biomechanics of the Spine
TL;DR: Combining orthopedic surgery with biomechanical engineering, this reference and teaching text reviews and analyzes the clinical and scientific data on the mechanics of the human spine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical versus Nonsurgical Therapy for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
James Neil Weinstein,Tor D. Tosteson,Jon D. Lurie,Anna N. A. Tosteson,Emily A. Blood,Brett Hanscom,Harry N. Herkowitz,Frank P. Cammisa,Todd J. Albert,Scott D. Boden,Alan S. Hilibrand,Harley Goldberg,Sigurd Berven,Howard S. An +13 more
TL;DR: Patients who underwent surgery showed significantly more improvement in all primary outcomes than did patients who were treated nonsurgically, and the combined as-treated analysis showed a significant advantage for surgery by 3 months for allPrimary outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Negative Disc Exploration: AN ANALYSIS OF THE CAUSES OF NERVE-ROOT INVOLVEMENT IN SIXTY-EIGHT PATIENTS
TL;DR: It is suggested that a radical exposure of the nerve root should be undertaken in all patients in whom the intervertebral disc fails to reveal pathological changes of sufficient degree to account for the nerve-root compression or tautness demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical versus Nonsurgical Treatment for Lumbar Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
James Neil Weinstein,Jon D. Lurie,Tor D. Tosteson,Brett Hanscom,Anna N. A. Tosteson,Emily A. Blood,Nancy J. O. Birkmeyer,Alan S. Hilibrand,Harry N. Herkowitz,Frank P. Cammisa,Todd J. Albert,Sanford E. Emery,Lawrence G. Lenke,William A. Abdu,Michael Longley,Thomas J. Errico,Serena S. Hu +16 more
TL;DR: In nonrandomized as-treated comparisons with careful control for potentially confounding baseline factors, patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis treated surgically showed substantially greater improvement in pain and function during a period of 2 years than patients treated nonsurgically.
