IMPACT OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE DECOMPRESSION SURGERY ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENTS WITH LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS – A 2 YEAR FOLLOW-UP STUDY
Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) may result in a progressive narrowing of the spinal canal leading to compression of the nerve roots. The advantages of minimally invasive surgical approaches to the lumbar spine have been rigorously evaluated, however, the long-term impact on the health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) of patients with LSS that have undergone minimally invasive decompression surgery is uncertain. To this end, the aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of this procedure on the HRQoL of patients with LSS.
