Description
Wenlong Guo, Tong Li, Chaoqun Feng, Yang Yu, Youpeng Hu, and Xiaohong Fan compare two minimally invasive fusions for a slipped lumbar vertebra. Both approaches perform the same fusion through the side of the spine; one uses a two-channel endoscope, the other a 3D microscope. Patients had one slipped segment plus narrowing of the spinal canal. Records covered forty-nine patients, twenty-six treated with the endoscope method and twenty-three with the microscope, each followed for two years.
Pain and disability scores improved in both groups after surgery. The endoscope group reported less disability at one, three, six, and twelve months, while pain scores stayed similar. That group lost less blood and left hospital sooner. Complication rates were comparable, and both methods restored disc height and curve with fusion rates around ninety-six percent. The authors judge the endoscope route modestly ahead on recovery.
