Comparative study of Endoscopic vs Open Spinal Decompression For Single Level Lumbar Spinal Canal Stenosis based on clinical and surgical outcomes - A randomized control study

Endoscopic and open spinal decompression are two surgical approaches for managing single-level lumbar spinal canal stenosis, each with distinct advantages and limitations. Open laminectomy, a traditional approach, provides direct visualization and effective decompression but is associated with increased muscle disruption, longer hospital stays, and delayed recovery. In contrast, fully endoscopic decompression offers a minimally invasive alternative with reduced tissue trauma, shorter recovery times, and quicker return to daily activities, though it requires specialized expertise and equipment. This study aims to compare both techniques in terms of clinical and surgical outcomes, focusing on safety, efficacy, complications, functional recovery, and long-term sustainability of results in a randomized control setting.
