Methods Diagnoses were made on the basis of patients' histories and their clinical examinations. Results Average age was 52.16 +/- 8.9 (33-64). 70.1% (47) of patients were females and 29.9% (20) were males. The most frequent neurological symptoms were 71.1% lasque (+) and 56.7% sensory loss. The anterior-posterior diameter was below 11.5 mm in 56.7% of the cases. Partial recovery was observed in the early term of 71.6% the cases. 56.7% of the cases were applied total laminectomy. Conclusion Decompressive laminectomy can be performed safely and effectively in patients of with lumbar stenosis.en10.1007/s11845-010-0466-6info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAdultSpinal StenosisLumbar LaminectomyFactorsArticle179336536820162467Q3WOS:000280796800008Q3
