Research Progress on Different Treatment Methods for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

腰椎管狭窄症(Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, LSS)是指椎管内有效空间减少导致硬膜囊及神经根受压，继而引发腰腿疼痛、间歇性跛行、下肢无力，以及鞍区麻木和二便功能异常等一系列临床症状。腰椎管狭窄症作为一种常见的脊柱外科疾病，在成年人群中有症状的LSS的患病率约为11%，并且会随着年龄的增长而增加。LSS有多种治疗方法，本文将系统阐述各种治疗方法的适应症及优缺点，为LSS患者的临床治疗提供依据。Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) refers to the condition where the effective space within the spinal canal is reduced, causing compression of the dural sac and nerve roots, and subsequently leading to a series of clinical symptoms such as low back and leg pain, intermittent claudication, lower extremity weakness, saddle numbness, and abnormal bowel and bladder functions. As a common spinal surgical disease, the prevalence of symptomatic LSS in the adult population is approximately 11%, and it increases with age. There are various treatment methods for LSS. This article will systematically elaborate on the indications, advantages, and disadvantages of each treatment method to provide a basis for the clinical treatment of LSS patients.
