Deep learning-based lumbosacral reconstruction for difficulty prediction of percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy at L5/S1 level: A retrospective cohort study

Abstract

Deep learning achieved accurate and rapid segmentations of lumbosacral structures on CT, and deep learning-based 3D reconstructions were efficacious and reliable. Foraminoplasty simulation with deep learning-based lumbosacral reconstructions may benefit surgical difficulty prediction of PETD at L5/S1 level.
