Stenosis Surgery Low Back

Spinal stenosis in the low back can severely limit your mobility and daily functioning. Flexclinics offers advanced, minimally invasive surgery to relieve pressure on your nerves and restore your range of motion.

  • What is Stenosis of the Low Back?With spinal stenosis, the passageway in your spine is narrowed, causing nerves to become pinched. This can cause pain, tingling and even loss of strength in your legs. The cause is often wear and tear of the vertebrae and intervertebral discs due to age or overuse.Typical complaints are:
    • Pain in the lower back, which gets worse with long standing or walking.
    • Radiating pain to the legs, sometimes mistaken for sciatica.
    • Numbness and tingling in the legs or feet.
    • Muscle weakness, making walking more difficult.
    • Improvement when sitting or bending forward as pressure on nerves is temporarily reduced.

    If these symptoms affect your daily life, surgery may be the right solution.

Treatment options for Spinal Stenosis

At Flexclinics, we offer two advanced treatments for low back stenosis. Both methods focus on relieving nerve pressure so you can move pain-free again.

Minimally Invasive Surgery with MTD (Micro Tube Decompression)

This technique uses a small incision to enlarge the narrowed space in the spinal canal and free the pinched nerve.

How does it work?

  • A microtube (narrow tube) is used to accurately remove bone tissue.
  • The surgeon uses a microscope for precision and minimal tissue damage.
  • The procedure takes about 60 minutes and is done under general or local anesthesia.

Benefits:
✅ S maller wound → Less scarring and faster recovery.
✅ Less blood loss → Less strain on your body.
Fast rehabilitation → Often active again within a few weeks.

Ultra Minimally Invasive Surgery with Endoscopy (Interlaminar Decompression)

The most advanced technique for stenosis surgery. A small camera (endoscope) is used to treat the stenosis with extreme precision.

How does it work?

  • A small incision of only a few millimeters.
  • The surgeon works with a microcamera to precisely remove excess bone tissue.
  • The spinal cord and nerves are immediately relieved.

Advantages:
✅ Minimal damage to surrounding tissue → Faster recovery.
✅ Local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia → Fewer risks.
✅ Less risk of infections and complications.
