Endoscopic spinal discectomy/decompression, modified standard orthopedic operating table: A case series
Keywords:
Endoscopic spine, Lumbar intervertebral disk, Lumbar spinal stenosisAbstract
Lumbar intervertebral disk herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis are common causes of radiating back pain. In cases where patients do not respond to conservative treatment, surgical intervention may be required. Standard open surgery often results in significant damage to posterior spinal structures. Endoscopic spine surgery has been introduced to minimize such injuries and reduce disability. Utilizing a modified standard operating table instead of the Wilson frame can also facilitate endoscopic operations effectively.
This study reports on a series of cases treated with endoscopic surgery using a modified standard operating table. The results demonstrate a significant reduction in patient disability, as evidenced by a decrease in the Thai Oswestry Disability Index (Thai ODI) from 40.4 to 19.6.
