A Mobile Outside-in Technique of Transforaminal Lumbar Endoscopy for Lumbar Disc Herniations

Percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal lumbar discectomy (PETLD) has now become a standard of care for the management of lumbar disc disease. There are ...

Chronic spinal subdural hematomas are extremely rare with only 28 cases reported in the literature. Nevertheless, they should be considered among the differential diagnoses for spinal intradural/extramedullary lesions.

Lumbar chronic subdural hematoma mimicking an intradural extramedullary tumor: A case report.

Acute bilateral isolated foot drop due to lumbar disk prolapse with canal stenosis is rare with only 3 cases reported in literature. Our patient was managed using the percutaneous full endoscopic technique. This is mainly to highlight the ease of access and patient outcome with preoperative and postoperative images to support our minimally invasive treatment for this rare condition.

The causes of chronic diskogenic back pain have not yet been clearly identified. Neural ingrowth around the annulus is widely considered to be one of the possible cause. However, neuropathy around the annulus has yet to be observed visually. We report a case of a hotspot that was observed in an epiduroscopic view, but not in imaging findings.

 Seed-type partial ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) causing severe radiculopathy after rupture has not yet been described in the literature.

Symptomatic Ruptured Seed-Type Partial Ossification of the Ligamentum Flavum: A Case Report.

Intraspinal epidural lymphangioma of cauda equina are extremely rare, only three cases have been reported in the past. We report a 63-year-old female with lymphangioma at S1-S2 level which was resected under epidural anesthesia using a percutaneous full endoscope with no evidence of recurrence at 19 months follow-up.

Extraosseous Ewing sarcoma (EES) arising from peripheral nerves is extremely rare with only 11 cases mentioned in the literature. It poses a diagnostic challenge to the clinicians due to its nonspecific presentation and rare occurrence.

 Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar diskectomy is a good treatment modality for lumbar disk herniation. However, when a patient complains of bilateral lower limb radicular pain with severe disk protrusion at the L5-S1 level, the transforaminal approach is often unable to resolve both lesions owing to anatomical limitations. It is also very difficult to resolve both lesions in an ipsilateral direction using the percutaneous interlaminar approach. We report our surgical technique and clinical results using a ventral dural approach of percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar lumbar diskectomy for L5-S1 herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) in patients with bilateral radiculopathy due to a severe disk protrusion.

Percutaneous Endoscopic Interlaminar Unilateral Ventral Dural Approach for Symptomatic Bilateral L5-S1 Herniated Nucleus Pulposus: Technical Note.

Partially calcified lumbar herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) can cause severe radiating pain and neurologic symptoms requiring surgical treatment. As it is not safe to enforce conventional endoscopic lumbar discectomy using trephine or burr to remove the partially calcified disc, we report a calcification floating technique using a working channel for the treatment of these cases.

Full Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy using the Calcification Floating Technique for Symptomatic Partially Calcified Lumbar Herniated Nucleus Pulposus.

Degenerative spine disease, encompassing disc prolapse and stenosis, is a common ailment in old age. This prospective study was undertaken to evaluate the role of endoscopic spine surgery in elderly patients (above 70 years of age) with clinical and radiological follow-up.
