Single segment TOLF treated with OSE procedure. (A–C) Preoperative sagittal, axial CT and MRI images of TOLF, and the ossification lesion compressed the spinal cord at T10/11 (As shown by the red arrow). (D) The view of decompression of spinal cord during operation on endoscope. (E–G) Postoperative sagittal, axial CT and MRI images, demonstrated a complete remove of ossification lesion (As shown by the red arrow and dashed). (H) Postoperative 3D-CT image showed the range of unilateral laminectomy at T10 and T11 (As shown in the red dashed region), bilateral decompression of spinal cord through unilateral approach.
