Surgical excision of LSCs is the standard treatment for patients in whom conservative treatment options fail. This meta-analysis was undertaken to compare clinical outcomes between minimally invasive approaches using tubular retractors (microscopic vs. endoscopic) and traditional percutaneous approaches for LSCs. Studies reporting surgical management of LSCs were searched in the Cochrane Library, PubMed and Web of Science database. This meta-analysis was reported following the PRISMA Statement, registered in Prospero (CRD42021288992). A total of 1833 patients were included from both the related relevant studies (41 studies, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091831) and the present series (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092). Meta-analysis of minimally invasive tubular approaches revealed no statistically significant difference in pain improvement, dural tear, residual cyst, recurrence and operation time between minimal groups with traditional groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05). Minimal groups had better Functional improvement of 100% (95% CI 1.00\u20131.00; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001, <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u200975.3%) and less reoperation rates of 0% (95% CI \u2212\u00a00.00\u20130.00; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.007, <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u200947.1%). Postoperative length of hospital stay and intraoperative bleeding in minimal groups were also less than traditional groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Subgroup analysis revealed endoscopic groups had less operation time (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.004), and there was no significant difference in the rest. For patients with LSCs but without obvious clinical and imaging evidence of vertebral instability, even when preoperative stable grade 1 spondylolisthesis is present, minimally invasive tubular approaches without fusion may provide the best outcome in surgical management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40001-023-01481-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,8]],"date-time":"2023-11-08T06:01:54Z","timestamp":1699423314000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Efficacy of minimally invasive tubular approaches for management of the lumbar spinal synovial cysts: a meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0709-3874","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ying","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pei","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shenggang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunwang","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fufu","family":"Ji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8468-4942","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qing","family":"Lan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"1481_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"415","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2019.11.033","volume":"134","author":"AE Telfeian","year":"2019","unstructured":"Telfeian AE, Oyelese A, Fridley J, Moldovan K, Gokaslan ZL.
