Lumbar spinal stenosis is one of the most frequent causes of spinal surgical interventions in over 60-year olds. The exact relationship between degenerative changes and the resulting symptoms is unclear since imaging shows stenotic changes in the spines of many symptom-free patients. ⋯ The success rate two years after OP is approximately 80% in over 75-year olds. Five years after surgical intervention, an improvement in the symptoms is still recognizable in 50% of these patients.
