Descripción detallada
This randomized controlled trial was designed to compare the clinical and surgical outcomes of interlaminar uniportal endoscopic bilateral lumbar decompression versus conventional open laminectomy in patients diagnosed with degenerative lumbar canal stenosis. Lumbar spinal stenosis is a common degenerative condition that results in neurogenic claudication, radicular pain, and functional disability due to compression of neural elements.
The study was conducted at Ain Shams University Hospitals and Damanhour Medical National Institute. Patients meeting inclusion criteria were diagnosed based on clinical evaluation and radiological confirmation using MRI. Eligible patients were randomized into two groups: one group underwent minimally invasive interlaminar uniportal endoscopic bilateral decompression, while the other group underwent conventional open laminectomy.
The primary objective of the study was to compare the effectiveness of both surgical techniques in terms of pain relief and functional improvement. Secondary objectives included comparison of operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, complication rates, muscle injury markers, and time to return to normal activity.
Patients were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively using standardized clinical assessment tools. Postoperative follow-up was conducted at one day postoperative period, one month, and six months to assess both early and mid-term outcomes.
The hypothesis of the study is that minimally invasive endoscopic decompression provides equivalent or superior clinical outcomes compared to conventional open laminectomy, with the advantage of reduced tissue trauma, less postoperative pain, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stay.
This study aims to contribute to the growing evidence supporting minimally invasive spine surgery techniques and to provide high-quality comparative data to guide surgical decision-making in degenerative lumbar canal stenosis.

|---|---|
|
Experimental: Endoscopic Decompression Group
Patients undergo interlaminar uniportal endoscopic bilateral lumbar decompression for treatment of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis.
|
Minimally invasive interlaminar uniportal endoscopic decompression of the lumbar spinal canal performed for treatment of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis.
The procedure aims to relieve neural compression while preserving posterior spinal structures and reducing tissue trauma compared to open surgery.

Comparador activo: Open Laminectomy Group
Patients undergo conventional open laminectomy for treatment of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis
|
Standard open lumbar laminectomy performed for decompression of the spinal canal in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis.
The procedure involves removal of posterior bony and ligamentous structures to relieve neural compression.

Medida de resultado |
Medida Descripción |
Periodo de tiempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Functional Disability (Oswestry Disability Index - ODI)
Periodo de tiempo: Preoperative, 1 month, and 6 months postoperative
|
The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) will be used to evaluate functional disability related to lumbar spinal stenosis.
The ODI is a validated questionnaire assessing limitations in activities of daily living, including pain intensity, personal care, walking, sitting, standing, and social function.
Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disability.
Outcomes will be compared between patients undergoing interlaminar endoscopic and conventional open lumbar decompression.
|
Preoperative, 1 month, and 6 months postoperative
|
|
Postoperative Leg Pain (VAS-Leg Score)
Periodo de tiempo: Preoperative, 1 day, 1 month, and 6 months postoperative
|
Radicular leg pain will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), a validated 10-point scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).
Patients will rate their leg pain intensity preoperatively and at follow-up intervals.
This measure reflects the severity of nerve root compression symptoms and will be used to compare the effectiveness of interlaminar endoscopic versus conventional open lumbar decompression
|
Preoperative, 1 day, 1 month, and 6 months postoperative
|
|
Postoperative Back Pain (VAS-Back Score)
Periodo de tiempo: Preoperative, 1 day, 1 month, and 6 months postoperative
|
Low back pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), a validated patient-reported outcome measure ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).
This scale evaluates the severity of axial back pain associated with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis.
Measurements will be obtained preoperatively and at follow-up intervals to compare pain relief between interlaminar endoscopic and conventional open lumbar decompression techniques.
|
Preoperative, 1 day, 1 month, and 6 months postoperative
|
|
Claudication Distance
Periodo de tiempo: Preoperative, 1 month, and 6 months postoperative
|
Claudication distance will be assessed as the maximum walking distance a patient can achieve before the onset of neurogenic claudication symptoms, such as leg pain, numbness, or weakness.
This measure reflects functional limitation due to lumbar spinal stenosis and will be used to evaluate improvement after interlaminar endoscopic versus open lumbar decompression.

Preoperative, 1 month, and 6 months postoperative
