Endoscopic decompression alone for lumbar spinal stenosis with degenerative spondylolisthesis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of paired change scores.

Decompression Alone Versus Decompression With Fusion for Symptomatic Lumbar Synovial Facet Cysts: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Background: Pain relief is the principal patient-centered goal of surgery for symptomatic lumbar synovial facet cysts, yet comparative reviews have often emphasized cyst recurrence. Whether adding fusion improves postoperative pain or reduces later surgery remains uncertain. Objective: To compare decompression alone wi...

Impact of Concomitant Grade I Degenerative Spondylolisthesis on Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes Following Biportal Endoscopic versus Microscopic Laminectomy for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Post Hoc Analysis of a Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial

In this exploratory analysis, concomitant Meyerding DS1 was not associated with significantly different 12-month outcomes after BE-L or M-L, and among patients with stable DS1, no significant differences between techniques were detected.

Radiographic predictors of proximal junctional kyphosis after adult spinal deformity surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Comparative and qualitative analysis of endoscopic unilateral laminectomy with bilateral decompression versus interbody fusion in the treatment of grade 1 degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.

OBJECTIVE Traditional management of symptomatic lumbar spondylolisthesis (SPL) involves interbody fusion (IBF). However, endoscopic unilateral laminectomy with bilateral decompression (E-ULBD) has emerged as a less invasive alternative with growing evidence of effectiveness. The authors aimed to comprehensively compare...

Degenerative lumbosacral spondylolisthesis: Instability as the primary pathology and stabilization as definitive treatment. Experience with 28 cases treated by only fixation without any decompression

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate clinical outcomes in patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis associated with lumbar canal stenosis treated exclusively with multisegmental spinal stabilization, without conventional decompressive procedures involving bone, ligament, or disc rese...

Clinical efficacy and safety of arthroscopic-assisted uni-portal spinal surgery in the treatment of single-level lumbar degenerative disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

AUSS/UNSES demonstrates promising clinical efficacy and safety for single-level lumbar degenerative disease, with significant advantages in pain relief, functional improvement, and reduced surgical trauma.
