Lumbar Stenosis Surgery

Spinal stenosis is a condition in which the space for the spinal cord or nerves gets narrowed and results in spine decompression. It mostly occurs in the lower back and neck, and results from physical wear and tear of the spine bones called osteoarthritis.

The stenosis is categorised into two types, which include cervical stenosis (narrowing occurs in part of the spine and neck), and lumbar stenosis (narrowing occurs in part of the spine and lower back). Lumbar stenosis surgery is performed to widen the space for the spinal cord or nerves.
