The study demonstrated that minimally invasive surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis reduces a patient’s pain and disability levels, causes minimal blood loss, requires a short operation time and has a low complication rate.
The study concluded that minimally invasive laminotomy and foraminotomy are safe and efficacious options for lumbar stenosis patients.
