• ABSTRACT
    • With the development of minimally invasive spine concepts and the introduction of new minimally invasive instruments, minimally invasive spine technology, represented by foraminoscopy, has flourished, and percutaneous foraminoscopy has become one of the most reliable minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Percutaneous foraminoscopy is a safe and effective minimally invasive spinal endoscopic surgical technique. It fully protects the paravertebral muscles and soft tissues as well as the posterior column structure of the spine, provides precise treatment of the target nucleus pulposus tissue, with the advantages of less surgical trauma, fewer postoperative complications, and rapid postoperative recovery, and is widely promoted and used in clinical practice. In this paper, we can view the location, morphology, structure, alignment, and adjacency relationships by performing coronary, CT, and diagonal reconstruction along the attachment of the yellow ligaments and performing 3D reconstruction or processing techniques after performing CT scans. This allows clinicians to observe the laminoplasty and the stenosis of the vertebral canal in a more intuitive and overall manner. It has clinical significance for the display of the sublaminar spine as well as the physician's judgment of the disease and the choice of surgery.
