Minimally Neural Retractive, Total Annular Resection, Transforaminal Endoscopic (TARTE) Approach for Severely Canal Compromising Lumbar Disk Herniation Accompanied by a Neurologic Deficit
Abstract:Objective Treatment of severely canal compromising lumbar disk herniations (LDH), occupying more than 50% of the canal area, are associated with technical difficulty and worse outcomes. This study aimed to describe new techniques of transforaminal endoscopic lumbar diskectomy (TELD) with less neural retraction, and total annular resection for broad-based severely canal compromising disk herniation. We also evaluated the feasibility and safety of the techniques, and analyzed the clinical and radiologic outcomes… Show more
