This is followed by a description of the MiDAS Encore long-term study, which demonstrates positive outcomes for numerous patients who undergo lumbar decompression. Dr. Leong also provides a comparison of epidural steroids, percutaneous decompressive laminotomy, and interspinous spacers with MILD. He places emphasis on the efficiency, safety, same-day facilitation, and efficacy at L5/S1 when patients undergo MILD for stenosis treatment.
