Efficacy of endoscopic decompression surgery for treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis.

ABSTRACT: The overall aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of endoscopic decompression for outcomes in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). We conducted a retrospective cohort, single-institution study of n = 139 patients from 2019 to 2022 who underwent endoscopic decompression for LSS. The primary outcome was improvement of Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) between baseline and 12-month follow-up. In the present sample (n = 139) the average age was 57.6 years (SD = 17.4, with even distribution of men (49%) vs. women (51%). In patients with LSS, lumbar disc herniation was the most common diagnosis in 49 patients followed by lumbar radiculopathy in 25 patients.
