Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview and technique guide for endoscopic interlaminar lumbar decompression surgery, a minimally invasive surgical technique for managing herniated discs and spinal stenosis. The authors discuss the relevant surgical anatomy of the lumbar spine, the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the surgery, and explain the surgery’s step-by-step choreography by highlighting the use of advanced imaging and endoscopic technology. The authors review their clinical outcomes and discuss common complications and their management. They highlight the limitations of the procedure. This book chapter is a valuable resource for surgeons and healthcare professionals interested in understanding and implementing endoscopic lumbar interlaminar decompression as an effective and minimally invasive approach for managing sciatica-type low back and leg pain.
