Abstract:
With the rapid advancements in minimally invasive spine surgery and the increasingly sophisti-cated concept of visualization,transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy(TELD)has become a primary treatment for lumbar disc herniation.Among the critical preoperative steps in TELD,foraminalplasty plays a pivotal role,as its quality directly impacts surgical outcomes and postoperative recurrence rates.This article systemati-cally reviews the evolution of foraminalplasty techniques,evaluates the selection and application of plasty sites,examines factors influencing stability after lumbar foraminalplasty,and highlights recent advancements in computer-assisted navigation.The goal is to serve as a comprehensive reference for clinicians.
