Abstract
Introduction The laminectomy, that is, the complete removal of the posterior wall of spinal canal, thus termed as external decompression, has been employed as traditional surgical method for lumbar spinal stenosis. The concept of unilateral laminotomy with bilateral decompression of the spinal canal based on thinning of the internal osseous surface of posterior canal wall instead of its removal was termed internal decompression. The success rate of decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis ranges from 57 to 95%.
