Abstract
Lumbar pain is the main symptom in patients with degenerative lumbar pathology. Sources of this symptomatology are lumbar canal stenosis, disc herniation, yellow ligament and facet joints degeneration, foraminal stenosis and vertebral instability. High percentages of these patients are treated with spinal fusion surgery, lumbar decompression and foraminotomy procedures. Such procedures often cause subsequent development of aderential syndromes. We think that videoscopic procedure could be useful for patients with chronic back pain.
