Patients Undergoing 3-Level-or-Greater Decompression-Only Surgery for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Have Similar Outcomes to Those Undergoing Single-Level Surgery at 2 Years

Michael T. Nolte et al.

Summary: This study found that patients undergoing decompression of 3 or more levels for lumbar spinal stenosis have similar postoperative outcomes to those undergoing single-level decompression. Multilevel decompression of 3 or more levels may be safe and effective with acceptable outcomes at 2 years post-surgery under specific clinical and radiographic criteria.

Multilevel Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression: Clinical Efficacy and Durability to 2 Years

Ryan Khanna et al.

Summary: For patients with symptomatic multilevel lumbar stenosis and/or disc herniations, minimally invasive decompression and/or microdiscectomy techniques have been shown to be clinically effective and durable. The use of these techniques resulted in significantly improved patient-reported outcomes in both short and long term, with low rates of surgical complications and postoperative fusions.
