Surgical Management of Secondary Lumbar Canal Stenosis: Fenestration or Laminectomy, and the Impact of Transpedicular Fixation
Keywords:
Secondary Lumbar Canal Stenosis, Fenestration or LaminectomyAbstract
Background: Abstract: Secondary lumbar canal stenosis is a prevalent degenerative condition that significantly impacts quality of life due to chronic pain and functional limitations. Surgical intervention remains a cornerstone in its management,with fenestration and conventional laminectomy emerging as prominent approaches. This review aims to compare the efficacy and safety of fenestration and conventional laminectomy, with and without transpedicular fixation, in the treatment of secondary lumbar canal stenosis. A comprehensive analysis of the current literature was conducted to evaluate clinical outcomes, including pain relief, functional recovery, and complications.
