Abstract:[Objective] To investigate the clinical efficacy of the modified enlarging laminoplasty for multi-level lumbar spinal stenosis( LSS) in elderly. [Methods] A retrospective study was conducted on 35 elderly patients who received the modified enlarging laminoplastyfor multi-level LSS in our hospital from February 2020 to December 2022. The clinical and imaging data were evaluated. [Results] All pa-tients were successfully operated on without serious complications, and were followed up for a mean of (23.9±9.2) months.With time preop-eratively, 3 months postoperatively and the last follow-up, the low back pain VAS score [(4.8±1.3), (1.5±0.7), (1.4±0.5), P<0.001], leg painVAS score [(6.9±1.1), (2.5±0.7), (2.3±0.6), P<0.001] and ODI scores [(90.0±20.0), (10.0±10.0), (10.0±10.0), P<0.001] were significantly de-clined, whereas the continuous walking distance on flat land [(183.7±114.4) m, (817.1±108.4) m, (1 212.9±175.5) m, P<0.001] significantlyincreased. As for imaging, spinal canal area [(1.3±0.1) cm2, (1.8±0.1) cm2, (1.8±0.1) cm2, P<0.001) and sagittal diameter of lateral recess[(3.0±0.5) mm, (5.4±0.6) mm, (5.5±0.6) mm, P<0.001] were significantly increased over time. [Conclusion] This modified enlarging lamino-plasty is a safe and feasible method for the treatment of multi-level LSS in elderly and achieves satisfactory clinical consequence.
