Abstract
A method for treating spinal stenosis is disclosed. The method can include generating a view of a portion of the spinal canal and compressing the dural sac by injecting a fluid to form a safety zone and establish a working zone, wherein the safety zone can be between the working zone and the dural sac. The method can also include percutaneously accessing the epidural space on a first side of the median plane, inserting a tissue removal tool into tissue in the working zone on the first side of the median plane, and using the tissue removal tool to percutaneously reduce a stenosis on the first side of the median plane.
