Description

<p>  The incidence of degenerative spine disease has been rapidly rising because of the increasing number of elderly. In recent years, minimally invasive spinal surgery has been an option for elderly patients who can often not undergo conventional surgical methods. As a result, the number of surgeries for degenerative spine disease has been increasing.</p><p>  Spinal degenerative diseases involve static and dynamic factors. Additionally, age-associated degenerative changes induce anatomical spinal changes (in the ligamentum flavum, the intervertebral disc, etc.) that differ from the characteristics present in intracranial disorders. Neurosurgeons need to consider this when diagnosing spine disorders.</p><p>  In this article, we give an overview of minimally invasive spinal surgery for lumbar spinal degenerative diseases, focusing on the surgical options available for lumbar spinal canal stenosis.</p>
