Yes: Outcomes from spinal stenosis surgery are generally good with some loss of satisfaction over 5 years due to ongoing degenerative changes that can lead to restenosis at levels operated on and continued aging with degeneration at levels not initially involved but now have developed spinal stenosis which occurs in 20% of people over 60 even if they may have no symptoms.
