Resumoligamentum flavum hypertrophy and central degenerative disc herniation.This is a clinical and radiological condition seen in more than 65% of females and 80% of males, with incidence directly related to age.In addition, degenerative spondylolisthesis, basically a facet joint lesion, develops as a consequence of degeneration of the lumbar vertebrae, resulting in hypertrophy and segmental instability in the facet joints.With age, the inferior and superior articular processes of the █ INTRODUCTION L umbar spinal stenosis (LSS), may have an unfavorable impact on activities of daily living and walking distance because of pain in the lower limbs when walking (5).Degenerative stenosis is a condition that occurs as a result of age-related degeneration in the vertebrae.The problem here is not only the degeneration of the facet joints, but also AIM: To investigate the mid-term efficacy of bilateral decompression with a unilateral approach (BDUA) on symptoms and quality of life of in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), with low grade (with percentage slip 60 years) and adult (<60 years), similar improvements were seen in both groups.CONCLUSION: BDUA could be quite effective in reducing pain, improving quality of life and walking distance with no worsening of the grade or degree of slipping.
