Effectiveness of percutaneous key lesion endoscopic lumbar decompression for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis in octogenarian patients
Key lesion sEndo-ULBD was an appropriate, safe, and effective treatment for octogenarian patients suffering from degenerative LSS. With an average follow-up of over one year, we did not find any significant progression in spinal curvature or instability. sEndo-ULBD is an ideal alternative to aggressive fusion fixation lumbar surgery for managing degenerative LSS in octogenarian patients with functional disability.
