Summary:The aim of this study was to show the detail techniques of microscopic bilateral decompression through unilateral approach for lumber spinal canal stenosis (LSCS) and assess the clinical results of this procedure. Thirty patients with LSCS who underwent this procedure were included in this study. JOA score improved 13.5 points preoperatively to 24.5 points with significant difference. This procedure provided good clinical results with less invasiveness for paravertebral muscles.
