In patients who do not respond to conservative interventions endoscopic spinal surgery provides similar results to open surgical approaches with lower rates of complication postoperative pain and shorter duration of hospital stay. Methods We performed a prospective open uncontrolled trial of 64 patients to evaluate endoscopic laminoforaminoplasty for the treatment of refractory foraminal stenosis. Results Fifty-nine percent of patients had at least 75 improvement in Oswestry Disability Index Oswestry and Visual Analog Scale VAS scores. All patients were discharged the day of surgery. Dural leaks occurred in two patients which were repaired intraoperatively. No other adverse events occurred. Conclusions Endoscopic laminoforaminoplasty appears to be a safe alternative to open decompression in patients with spinal foraminal stenosis additional controlled trials are warranted.
