Decompression fusion surgery and minimally invasive microsurgical decompression in patients with single-segment lumbar spinal stenosis.

Unlabelled: There are few studies comparing clinical efficacy of decompression/fusion surgery (transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) + transpedicular interbody fusion) and minimally invasive microsurgical decompression (MMD) in patients with single-segment lumbar spinal stenosis.

Objective: To compare the results of TLIF + transpedicular interbody fusion and MMD in patients with single-segment lumbar spinal stenosis.

Material And Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study included medical records of 196 patients (100 (51%) men, 96 (49%) women).
