In our clinic, 48 patients were surgically treated and 23 patients were conservatively treated for lumber canal stenosis.
Forty-eight patients operated were reported according to the new international classifications.
The results in operative cases revealed “good” in 25 cases (52%), “fair” in 12 cases (25%), “poor” in 11 cases (23%) and that in conservative cases was worse than operative cases.
We emphasized the importance of carring not only out an adequate decompressive surgery, but also performing the long term follow-up and treating in accordance with individual patient clinical problems.
