    Sang Chul Lee, MD, PhD, FIPP – Professor Emeritus

    Dr. Sang Chul Lee presents the extraforaminotomy procedure for spinal pain management. He discusses the pathophysiology of sciatica due to foraminal stenosis, the classification of foraminal ligaments involved, and the grading system for lumbar spinal stenosis. Dr. Chul Lee also describes several degenerative factors for foraminal stenosis. He then provides an in-depth description of common treatment modalities for foraminal and central stenosis. Dr. Chul Lee further explains why foraminoplasty is needed during extraforaminotomy and describes several case presentations. The combination of adhesiolysis with epidural catheter and percutaneous extraforaminotomy is a trending treatment for disc diseases.

    Brian K. Flanagan, MD, discusses the importance of ensuring there is enough space in the cervical canal. Patients with herniated discs, spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease all have narrow cervical spaces which decreases safety margins. Dr. Flanagan also discusses a patient story of cord compression after injecting into the cervical space. He highlights the importance of taking x-ray images to determine the canal diameter before performing any procedures.

    Dr. Ira Fox discusses caudal and transforaminal neuroplasticity and clinical experience for spinal stenosis. He touches on the official disabilities guidelines. Dr. Fox also discusses objectives for epidural neuroplasty. Lesion specificity is important – know exactly where your patient’s pain is! He also discusses monitored anesthesia in the context of spinal stenosis procedures. According to Dr. Fox, ventral lateral catheter placement gives the best results. He advises to keep safeguards in mind.

    Dr. Standiford Helm provides a detailed presentation on the efficacy of adhesiolysis for revealing pain form spinal stenosis. He explains the pathology of stenosis, the mechanism of action of adhesiolysis, and the many pathologies for which this is effective. Using current research, Dr. Helm explains how this procedure mitigates epidural scarring and reduces inflammation.
