title: [Narrowing of lateral recesus in lumbal column (surgical treatment)].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  In this study was analyzed 49 persons with lumbar lateral recess stenosis who were treated by operation. Resection articular facets was main principe for decompression root of nerve in lateral recess region. After operation we noticed sings of recovory during next sixth mounts. Many study were wrote results of treatment lumbar spinal stenosis. Results of treatment central, lateral, lateral recess or foramina stenos is, were not announced. In this study we were analyzed intensity recovery neurological sings sixth mounts after operation lumbar lateral recess stenosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Diagnosis was establish after neurological examines, functional X-ray and CT of lumbar spine et electromyography lower extremities. We analyzed, also, and patients opinion about them condition and treatments.
  
  
  RESULTS
  It was noticed good recovery of neurogenic claudication, paresthesic and pain in leg. Local pain in lumbar spine and damages sensibilities were significant presents after therapy. It was registered opinion of good recovery in high grade stenosis and stenois associated with disc protrusion.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Nerve root decompression in stenotic lateral recess of lumbar spine could achieved removing part of hypertrophy artricular facets. Good recovery was achieved after operation and rehabilitations treatment. Some grade disability could stayed because damages snezibilitics and local pain in lumbar spine.
