Clinical Outcome of Muscle-Preserving Interlaminar Decompression (MILD) for Lumbar Spinal Canal Stenosis: Minimum 5-Year Follow-Up Study

摘要

Introduction Favorable short-term outcomes have been reported following muscle-preserving interlaminar decompression (MILD), a less invasive decompression surgery for lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS). However, there are no reports of mid- to long-term outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes five or more years after treatment of LSCS with MILD.
