Evaluation of endoscopic procedures to avoid spinal fusion

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of endoscopic techniques for decompression of the lumbar spine in patients with spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis. The approach aims to minimize the need for more invasive spinal fusion surgeries by preserving the physiological function and stability of the lumbar spine. Patients will be assessed based on specific spinal pathologies and their eligibility for endoscopic surgery. The study is observational, focusing on real-world outcomes of this innovative surgical method.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Patient ≥ 18 years old
* Patient consulting for a medical reason involving a spinal pathology in the investigating center :

Syndrome adjacent to an old lumbar arthrodesis defined on preoperative radiographs by an antero-posterior translation \> 3 mm, segmental kyphosis \> 10° or a disc height reduced by more than 50%, or on preoperative MRI by central stenosis of grade C or D of the Schizas classification or a herniated disc Grade 1 or 2 degenerative spondylolisthesis, i.e. with slippage less than 50% of the depth of the underlying vertebral body.

Lumbar stenosis complicating lumbar scoliosis defined by a deformation with rotation of the vertebral bodies on a frontal radiograph (absence of centering of the spinous process between the two pedicles of the vertebra concerned) and a Cobb angle greater than 20° or a rotational dislocation .

\- Indication for spinal surgery by endoscopy

* Persons deprived of liberty by judicial or administrative decision,
