The association between lumbar lordosis preoperatively and changes in PROMs for lumbar spinal stenosis patients 2 years after spinal surgery: radiological and clinical results from the NORDSTEN-spinal stenosis trial
ConclusionLL before surgery was not associated with changes in PROMs 2 years after surgery. Lumbar lordosis should not be a factor when considering decompressive surgery for LSS. (Source: European Spine Journal)

Unintended dural tears during unilateral biportal endoscopic lumbar surgery: incidence and risk factors
ConclusionsIn this UBE cohort, we found that the incidence of DT was 3.95%. Additionally, older age, LSS, ULBD, and revision surgery significantly increased the risk of DT in UBE surgery. (Source: Acta Neurochirurgica)

Perspective: Efficacy and outcomes for different lumbar interspinous devices (ISD) vs. open surgery to treat lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS)
CONCLUSION: Patients undergoing new generation ISD for LSS exhibited comparable or better outcomes, but greater reductions in OR times, EBL, LOS, ROM, and ASD vs. those receiving original/current ISD or undergoing open surgery.PMID:38344078 | PMC:PMC10858763 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_1007_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)
