Abstract

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of radiological and clinical data of patients treated by posterior decompression and fusion who have degenerative lomber spinal stenosis (DLSS). Materials and Method: 30 patients (17 female, 13 male) evaluated in this study who diagnosed as DLSS and underwent to surgery between 1999 and 2005. Lumbar spinal canal measured with CT scans of the operated level, one level upper and one level under from the operated level. All patients evaluated with Oswestry questionnaire and clinic examination scale (existence of back pain, leg pain, numbness, prickle, motor deficiency and sensory deficiency). Preoperative and postoperative satisfaction was evaluated by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Results: Mean follow-up time was 4.3±3.7 years. Preoperative spinal canal diameter was 12.4±3.3 mm whereas postoperative 14.0±2.8 mm. Postoperative clinic scale and Oswestry questionnaire found to be beter significantly (p
