Lumbar decompression surgery aims to increase the space in the spinal canal so the spinal cord and nerve roots are not compressed. It involves precisely removing or trimming parts of the spine ...

It's a type of spinal stenosis. Your spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that runs down the center of your spine. Some of these nerves spread out to your arms, legs, and other body parts.

Spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal, which contains the spinal cord and nerve roots. This narrowing compresses the spinal cord and nerve roots, resulting in symptoms.
