Every
year the number of surgical procedures performs for lumbar spinal stenosis has
increased steadily over the years. Diagnosis of the patients with lumbar canal
stenosis and decision for decompression was mainly with MRI. Majority of
patients will end up with multilevel decompression. The objective of this study
is to evaluate the outcome of the patient who level of decompression based on
clinical presentation of the patient. This is a cross sectional analytical
study. Patient who was diagnosed with multiple lumbar canal stenosis by 3
orthopedic broad certified spine surgeons based on clinical presentation and CT
myelography and MRI will undergo decompression surgery. Functional outcome was
evaluated by using JOABPEQ score. The proportion of patients who has match and
unmatched clinical presentation and imaging was evaluated with Fisher exact
test. Determining the level of decompression in patient with multiple lumbar
canal stenosis should be based on clinical presentation of the patients rather
than using Imaging study. However, further authentication is required by doing
long term studies.
