Objectives: Herein, we explored the safety and efficacy of the percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) and fenestration discectomy (FD) in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
Methods: The complete clinical data of 87 LDH patients, who were admitted to the Peking University People's Hospital between May 2018 and March 2020, were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were initially separated into a control (n=39, treated with FD) and research group (n=48, treated with PTED), based on the prescribed treatments. We compared the basic operational conditions between the two groups, and assessed the surgical outcomes using the visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scores (JOA), and modified MacNab scale. Lastly, we analyzed the complication incidence and life quality of patients at 1-year follow up after surgery.
Results: All participants in both groups completed the operation. The amount of intraoperative blood loss, surgical duration, length of surgical incision, postoperative ambulation start time, and length of hospital stay were all significantly shorter in the research group as compared to the control group (P<0.05). Moreover, the VAS and ODI scores of the patients in the research group were lower than the control group at 3-months after surgery, while the JOA score was markedly higher (all P<0.05). In addition, the success rate was higher, and the complication rate lower, in the research group, compared to the control group (all P<0.05). Lastly, no statistical differences were observed in the quality of life of patients before the operation, or at 1-year follow up (P>0.05).
Conclusions: Based on our analyses, PTED and FD were both effective in treating LDH. However, PTED exhibited a higher success rate, faster recovery time, and was safer than FD.

Objective: Percutaneous Endoscopic Transforaminal Discectomy (PETD) is recognized as the leading surgical intervention for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Moreover, Body Mass Index (BMI) has been established as an independent risk factor for disc reherniation post-PETD. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies investigating the biomechanical changes in the disc post-PETD in relation to diverse BMI levels.

This study evaluated lumbar spine radiographs using the Choi and Patgaonkar classifications to verify parameters potentially influencing the L5-S1 transforaminal approach. We studied 167 lumbosacral spine radiographs from patients over 18 years old with no history of surgeries, tumors, fractures, or scoliosis to measure the iliac crest height and rim angle. We categorized the cases per pelvic morphology, mega-apophysis presence, and Choi and Patgaonkar classifications.

Article Synopsis
- Robotic-assisted spine surgery enhances the precision and safety of procedures like pedicle screw placement, minimizing blood loss and reducing hospital stays while alleviating postoperative pain.
- Recent advancements allow robotic systems to perform not only screw insertion but also critical tasks like surgical decompression and bone preparation, transitioning from experimental models to actual human applications.
- The Mazor X Stealth Edition Spine Robotic System facilitates these procedures by combining advanced software for planning and real-time imaging, leading to more efficient and accurate minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF).
