Abstract

Classic symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) are radicular symptoms or neurogenic claudication. LSS usually shows pain in lower limbs with chronic pain in their lower back. The lumbar degenerative disease is recognized by spine surgeon as its main pathological change, which not only cause intervertebral disc herniation but also spondylolisthesis. The percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) has become a common treatment for lumbar herniated discs. Recent research has proved that PTED was effectively for lumbar spinal stenosis.
