    Effect of the expanded percutaneous endoscopic foraminal plasty in the treatment of high lumbar spinal stenosis

      Graphical Abstract
      • Abstract
    • ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of the expanded percutaneous endoscopic foraminal plasty in the treatment of high lumbar spinal stenosis.
      MethodsEight patients with high lumbar spinal stenosis were treated with expanded percutaneous endoscopic foraminal plasty.The symptoms and waist function of the patients were evaluated before operation and after 3 and 6 months of operation.The therapeutic effects of patients was evaluated using MacNad function score at the end of 6 months after operation.
      ResultsEight patients were successfully operated under local anesthesia.At each time point after surgery, the visual analog score of pain and lumbar Oswestry dysfunction index(ODI) in all cases were lower than those before surgery(P＜0.05 to P＜0.01), and the Japanese orthopaedic association score was higher than that before surgery(P＜0.05).No recurrence case was found during 6 months of following up.At the last following-up, the results of MacNad evaluation showed that the excellent in 6 cases, good 1 case and fair in 1 case were identified, and the excellent and good rate of which was 87.50%.
      ConclusionsThe the expanded percutaneous endoscopic foraminal plasty in the treatment of high lumbar spinal stenosis is safe and effective.
