Endoscopic Decompression Versus Fusion for Degenerative Lumbar Spondylolisthesis: A Structured Debate and International Practice Patterns

Degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS) combines neural compression with a variable mechanical phenotype, creating uncertainty over whether decompression alone is sufficient or fusion is required. Over the last few decades, endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) has opened new avenue...

Inside-Out Versus Outside-In Transforaminal Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy: A Structured Debate and International Practice Patterns

Transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy (TELD) is performed by 2 techniques that differ in where the working corridor is first established: inside-out docks within the disc and works outward; outside-in establishes the corridor in the foramen, typically by foraminoplasty, and...

Interlaminar Contralateral Endoscopic Foraminotomy Reduces Postoperative Dysesthesia in Patients With Degenerative Lumbar Deformity: A Multicenter Comparative Cohort Study

Study Design Retrospective-prospective multicenter comparative cohort study. Objectives Postoperative dysesthesia (POD) is a recognized complication of transforaminal endoscopic lumbar surgery, with reported rates up to 21.5%. Degenerative lumbar deformity may amplify this risk t...
