NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Atlantic Spine Center's founder, Dr. Kaixuan Liu, MD, PhD, shared new advances in endoscopic spine surgery at the International Society for Endoscopic Spine Surgery (ISESS) 2025 in Guangzhou, China.
His presentation, “Transforaminal Endoscopic Decompression of Lumbar Spinal Nerve Roots,” introduced minimally invasive techniques designed to deliver faster recovery, fewer complications, and better outcomes for patients with chronic low back pain and lumbar radiculopathy.
Addressing a Global Health Crisis
Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, affecting 619 million people in 2020 and projected to rise to 843 million by 2050. Lumbar radiculopathy, a frequent cause of debilitating pain, impacts 3–5% of the general population and often results from nerve root compression at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.
Breakthroughs in Minimally Invasive Care
During his talk, Dr. Liu highlighted the clinical advantages of transforaminal endoscopic decompression, a technique that relieves compressed nerves while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. Studies presented showed that compared to traditional open or microdiscectomy procedures, endoscopic surgery offers:
•Lower complication rates (5.5% vs. 10.4%)
•Recovery up to four times faster
•Less blood loss and shorter hospital stays
•Improved pain relief and function outcomes
Real-World Results
Dr. Liu presented multiple case studies, including patients with disc herniations, degenerative foraminal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and post-laminectomy syndrome. In each case, transforaminal endoscopic decompression resulted in restored mobility, reduced pain, and enhanced quality of life, even among patients who had exhausted conservative treatments such as physical therapy, pain management, and injections.
A Paradigm Shift in Spine Surgery
“Mastering endoscopic techniques is no longer optional, it is an ethical practice,” said Dr. Liu during his presentation. “With lower complication rates, faster recovery, and strong patient preference, endoscopic decompression should be recognized as the new standard of care for lumbar radiculopathy.”
