Abstract

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a disease in which degenerated discs, ligamentum flavum, facet joints, while aging, lead to a narrowing of the space around the neurovascular structures of the spine. This article presents a meta-analysis of literature data on epidemiology, causes, pathogenesis, diagnosis and various types of treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis.
