Early outcomes of endoscopic contralateral foraminal and lateral recess decompression via an interlaminar approach in patients with unilateral radiculopathy from unilateral foraminal stenosis
World Neurosurgery Oct 06, 2017
Kim HS, et al. - The retrospective case series investigated the early clinical and radiological outcomes of standalone contralateral foraminotomy and lateral recess decompression using percutaneous endoscopic contralateral interlaminar lumbar foraminotomy (PECILF).

The contralateral endoscopic approach may result in thorough decompression with acceptable early clinical outcomes and minimal perioperative morbidity.
