The 3D lumbar spine/nerve image enabled a combined assessment of the positional relationship between the SAP, ENR, and dural canal to quantify the safety zone of practical endoscopic spinal surgery using a transforaminal approach. Three-dimensional lumbar spine/nerve images could be useful for examining parameters, including bones and nerves, to ensure the safety of surgery.
