Patients included 20 men and 22 women, with an average age of 55.97± 14.92 years. The average follow-up period was 13.19 months. The demographic data, operation time (min), and complications were recorded and analyzed. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores were used to evaluate the surgical outcomes. Three-dimensional CT scans and MRI were conducted to evaluate the radiographic improvement.Results: A total of 26 patients were diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation and 16 with lumbar spinal stenosis. All 42 patients underwent UME surgery and achieved satisfactory outcomes. The operation time was 154.46± 46.09 min. The average follow-up time was 13.19± 1.33 months. The preoperative back pain (VAS-Back) and the last follow-up VAS-Back were 3.84± 1.00 and 0.70± 0.46, respectively (P < 0.05). The preoperative leg pain (VAS-Leg) and the last follow-up VAS-Leg were 6.46± 1.08 and 1.03± 0.64, respectively (P < 0.05). Significant differences existed between preoperative ODI scores (58.70± 11.22%) and the last follow-up ODI scores (9.24± 3.04%; P< 0.05). All patients achieved significant pain relief and functional improvement after the surgery. No severe complications occurred, except for two cases of postoperative dysesthesia and one case suffered from vertebral compression fractures induced by a postoperative accidental injury. Symptoms of numbness disappeared within one week with treatment using dexamethasone and neurotrophic drugs. The vertebral fracture case recovered with percutaneous kyphoplasty treatment.Conclusion: This study suggests that UME is a promising treatment strategy for high-migrated disc herniation and bilateral spinal stenosis.Keywords: unilateral bi/multi-portal endoscopy, lumbar degenerative diseases, high-migrated disc herniation, bilateral spinal stenosis, ligamentum flavum, spinal endoscope |
