腰椎椎管狭窄の手術症例について

抄録

Postoperative results were discussed in a series of 34 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, treated by surgical procedure.
Although most of them showed no evidence of remarkable neurological deficits, their chief complaints were low back pain, sensation of tingling on the legs, sciatics and intermittent claudication. Continuous priapismus and decbital sore in two cases were reported respectively.
Decompressive laminectomy and facetectomy were effective for the relief of these symptoms.
The diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis is usually suggested by the patient's symptoms but it can be determined by myelography.
