    Summary

    Surgical decompression for degenerative lumbar stenosis, including spondylolisthesis and arthrosic sciatica, yields good results. This open release is recommended after conservative treatment failure, even for elderly patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Radiology

    Context:

    • Degenerative lumbar stenosis presents unique challenges distinct from disc herniation.
    • Two primary subtypes, degenerative spondylolisthesis (S.D.) and arthrosic sciatica (S.A.), exhibit different stenosis patterns (central vs. lateral).

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical decompression for degenerative lumbar stenosis.
    • To highlight the necessity of myelography for operative planning.

    Summary:

    • Sixty-eight patients with degenerative lumbar stenosis underwent surgery.
    • 42 had degenerative spondylolisthesis (central stenosis), and 36 had arthrosic sciatica (lateral stenosis).
    • Myelography with amipaque facilitated precise surgical planning, leading to successful root decompression and a high rate of positive outcomes.

    Impact:

    • Open surgical decompression is a viable and effective treatment for degenerative lumbar stenosis, even in elderly individuals, following failed conservative management.
    • Postero-lateral fusion may be indicated in select cases to enhance stability.
