METHOD OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF STENOSIS OF SPINAL CANAL OF LUMBAR SPINE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A61B17/70 

FIELD: medicine; neurosurgery.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in surgical treatment of stenosing degenerative compression lumbar injuries. Method involves minimally invasive approach to the spinal canal stenosis region, removal of the zygapophysial joint with resection of the vertebra semiarch, discectomy and transforaminal installation of the interbody fuse. Surgical intervention is started with simultaneous percutaneous puncture transpedicular installation of trocars and guide wires immersed therein. Then between internal edges of adjacent guide spokes two incisions of skin, subcutaneous fat and thoraco-lumbar fascia are performed. Transpedicular fixation of adjacent vertebrae is carried out in simultaneous mode under fluoroscopic control.

EFFECT: method provides reducing operational complications taking into account anatomical features of the patient, reduced risk of immersion structure migration in the spinal canal decompression area, reduction of operation time and duration of intraoperative irradiation use due to reduction of length of skin incision and simultaneous transcutaneous transpedicular installation of trocars and immersed in them guide wires.
