Efficacy of Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis.

Conclusions: BESS for LSS showed clinical results not inferior to those of the other open surgery methods in the short-term. Stable hemodynamic changes with no need for blood transfusion and minimal changes in CRP were thought to cause less injury to the back muscles with minimal bleeding. Foraminal stenosis decompression should be simultaneously conducted with central decompression to avoid an additional surgery. PMID: 30838111 [PubMed - in process]
