Abstract
Lumbar degenerative diseases with low back pain most commonly occurred in aging population. Operative treatment has been regarded as an effective approach to alleviate pain and improve the life quality. Traditional open surgery has become the standard procedure of lumbar degenerative diseases since the 1990s but associated with severe destruction of the posterior musculoligamentous complex. To decrease injury to the complex, we developed an innovative percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (PE-TLIF) technique, which processes comparative indications. In our technique, some drawbacks on endoscopic lumbar fusion have been overcome, such as nerve root injury, cage-related complications, long learning curves, and so on. Our clinical studies showed PE-TLIF was effective and safe to treat patients with lumbar degenerative diseases.
