About this Content
Aims
Evaluate outcomes of lumbar decompression surgeries across three techniques: OD, TM, BE.
Background
Endoscopic spine surgery has advantages but faces low uptake due to learning curves; BE technique offers intuitive advantages.
Methods
SPSS analysis of patient data (Jan 2021-May 2022).
Results
BE technique shows comparable efficacy to OD and TM but offers shorter hospital stays.
Conclusion
BE offers promising advantages for lumbar surgeries.
Lessons Learnt
BE has potential as a viable alternative but requires cost-effectiveness evaluation in resource-constrained environments.
