Researchers of Laser Spine Institute, led by medical director Michael Perry, MD, have published a study in the Journal of Orthopaedics on the outcomes of lumbar laminotomy and foraminotomy in lumbar spinal stenosis patients. The study included 320 lumbar spinal stenosis patients who underwent the procedures between 2008 and 2011. The study demonstrated that minimally invasive surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis reduces a patient's pain and disability levels, causes minimal blood loss, requires a short operation time and has a low complication rate.
The study concluded that minimally invasive laminotomy and foraminotomy are safe and efficacious options for lumbar stenosis patients.
