Endoscopic Versus Conventional Lumbar Decompression for Lumbar Canal Stenosis
Sponsor: Ain Shams University
Summary
This is a randomized controlled trial comparing interlaminar uniportal endoscopic bilateral lumbar decompression with conventional open laminectomy in patients with degenerative lumbar canal stenosis. The study aims to evaluate and compare clinical outcomes including pain relief, functional improvement, operative parameters, and recovery profile between both surgical techniques. Patients will be followed postoperatively for one day outcomes, one month, and six months to assess effectiveness and safety of each procedure.

Conditions
Interventions
Interlaminar Uniportal Endoscopic Lumbar Decompression
Minimally invasive interlaminar uniportal endoscopic decompression of the lumbar spinal canal performed for treatment of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. The procedure aims to relieve neural compression while preserving posterior spinal structures and reducing tissue trauma compared to open surgery.
Open Lumbar Laminectomy
Standard open lumbar laminectomy performed for decompression of the spinal canal in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. The procedure involves removal of posterior bony and ligamentous structures to relieve neural compression.
