Comprehensive Learning Curve, Clinical Outcomes, and Radiological Evaluation of Modified Trans-Kambin Endoscopic Lumbar Interbody Fusion at over 1-Year Follow-Up
Modified trans-Kambin endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion is effective and safe, with high fusion rates and significant pain relief. Greater graft volume improved fusion grades. VO was linked to high BMI, male sex, and osteoporosis treatment. A 40-case threshold was associated with improved outcomes, underscoring the importance of surgical experience.
