Background
The indications and contraindications to the endoscopic transforaminal approach for lumbar spinal stenosis are not well defined.
Conclusions
We recommend stratifying patients based on the underlying compressive disease and the skill level of the endoscopic spine surgeon to decide preoperatively whether more difficult central or complex foraminal stenotic lesions should be considered for alternative endoscopic approaches.
