To evaluate the K-point approach and its impact on bone and ligament preservation during lumbar discectomy.
Utilized K-point approach for unilateral biportal endoscopic lumbar discectomy
Focused on minimizing bone resection
Preserved the ligamentum flavum during the procedure
Improved surgical efficiency compared to traditional methods
Reduced recovery time due to minimally invasive technique
Enhanced preservation of surrounding structures like ligamentum flavum
Abstract
By reducing bone resection and preserving the ligamentum flavum, the K-point approach enhances surgical efficiency and provides a refined minimally invasive alternative for subarticular disc herniations.
