Official Title: Retrospective Comparison of Tubular Decompression With or Without Multisegmental Rhizotomy Versus Transfacetal TLIF for the Treatment of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A 25-Year Observational Cohort Analysis
Brief Summary:
This retrospective observational study examines clinical outcomes in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis who underwent minimally invasive tubular decompression, with or without subsequent multisegmental percutaneous rhizotomy, at the General University Hospital of Valencia over 25 years (2000-2025).The purpose of the study is to determine whether decompression alone provides sufficient long-term symptom improvement or whether additional spinal fusion (transfacetal TLIF) is needed in specific patient subgroups.By…
