The Effect of Unilateral Laminotomy Decompression in the Prevention of Adjacent Spinal Canal Stenosis During Lumbar Fusion

Orthopaedic Surgery | 2026 | Yan Ma, Yufei Liu, Jun Ma, Teng Yao

ABSTRACT Objective Lumbar fusion surgery is a significant surgical approach for degenerative lumbar spine diseases. However, lumbar fusion can cause adjacent vertebral diseases, about 50% of which is spinal stenosis. Unilateral laminectomy is an effective treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis. Therefore, this study aims to assess whether concurrent unilateral laminotomy decompre...
