The present study aims to examine the usefulness of epiduroscopic neural laser decompression (ENLD), a novel percutaneous treatment, for treating lumbo-sacral cysts.
This week’s “MED FACT” discusses a clinical trial from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, “A novel technique for managing symptomatic spinal cysts using epiduroscopic neural laser decompression: technical note and preliminary results”. Authors: Seung-Kook Kim, Byoung-Hoi Lee, Moon-Bok Song and Su-Chan Lee Key Takeaways: Results show that ENLD can be useful in treating symptomatic benign spinal cysts. Objective: To examine the usefulness of epiduroscopic neural laser decompression (ENLD), for treating lumbo-sacral cysts Study Type: Retrospective chart review Participants:…
