LCS is a common disorder in elderly characterised by buttock and/or lower extremity pain, with or without back pain and is one of the most common reason for spine surgery after 65 years of age. LCS can be treated by conservative or surgical methods. The aim of our study was to analyse the outcomes of surgical management of LCS by laminectomy. Patients >50 years with clinically and radiologically proven LCS who failed conservative treatment and operated by open laminectomy were included in study. VAS for leg and back pain and ODI scores were calculated at presentation and each follow up. AP and lateral dynamic x-rays and MRI of LS spine was done in all patients. Final follow-up was done at 2 years. 102 patients (72 females and 30 males) with a mean age of 68 years were included in the study. VAS for back pain at presentation was 4 and of leg pain VAS 7 and ODI was 86. There were 7 cases of dural tear, one case of pseudomeningocele, 3 cases of superficial wound infection and one deep infection. VAS at final follow-up was 2 in leg and 3 for back pain and ODI was 24. Laminectomy is an effective treatment method for LCS not responding to conservative methods. Patients should be appropriately counselled preoperatively for persistent symptoms in the postoperative period.
