Safety and clinical efficacy of endoscopic procedures for the treatment of adjacent segmental disease after lumbar fusion: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adjacent segment disease (ASD) is a common complication after lumbar fusion and is still traditionally treated by open surgery. In recent years, with the development of minimally invasive techniques, percutaneous endoscopic surgery(PES) has been used for the treatment of ASD after lumbar fusion due to its unique benefits. Nevertheless, it remains unclear about its significant clinical efficacy and advantages over conventional open surgery.

Objectives

To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of PES in the treatment of ASD after lumbar fusion.

Study design

A systematic review and meta-analysis studies about the role of PES in managing ASD after lumbar fusion.

Methods

A systematic search review was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web
