I was recently diagnosed with lumbar stenosis, lumbar radiculopathy and spondylothesis. i was recomended laminectomy. i have no pain in the leg, just chronic low basinpain since 2009. will the laminectomy help?

Maybe: Your neurosurgeon who knows your case and history would be the best source to determine whether this procedure will help.

Unlikely: Laminecty at level at a spondy can lead to i spinal nstability and is done to relieve nerve pressure and leg symptoms (lumbar radiculopathy, laminecty will not consistantly help back pain it can add surgical muscular psin to what you already have it is great at relieving claudication you list MRI findings that explain leg pain but complain of back pain mismatched solution for findings and symptoms.

Not likely for back: Laminectomy will help with leg or buttock symptoms. For back pain -- it is not a predictable way of addressing back pain. And with spondylolisthesis (depending on grade of the spondylolisthesis), a laminectomy only may make the back pain worse eventually, and you may have recurrent stenosis if your spondylolisthesis grade worsens. Discuss this with your surgeon, and make sure you are doing pt.

Depends: Laminectomy is done to relieve leg/buttock pain caused by nerve impingement (stenosis) - in rare cases back pain can also improve.For patients who also have spondylolisthesis at the level of the stenosis, most spine surgeons would recommend fusion in addition to laminectomy, and the fusion may improve the back pain by stablizing an area of instability.Talk to your surgeon about goals/expectations.
