We present a case of iatrogenic lumbar foraminal stenosis caused by bone-cement leakage during vertebroplasty, successfully managed using transforaminal endoscopic lumbar foraminotomy (TELF). Vertebroplasty is an effective treatment for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCFs); however, complications such as bone-cement leakage can lead to vascular or neurological issues, including lumbar radiculopathy. TELF is a minimally invasive surgical option for addressing various forms of lumbar foraminal stenosis.

The centennial anniversary of Hans Hinselmann's initial publication describing colposcopy is approaching. In the 100 years since the inventor's seminal paper, colposcopy has become indispensable in the diagnosis and management of cervical cancer.
