Surgery to relieve the pain from spinal stenosis will not actually cure the stenosis. The surgery helps to relieve pressure from the lumbar spine in a procedure called a decompressive laminectomy. The procedure essentially involves removal of the root of the vertebrae to allow the nerves more space. In some cases, the surgery involves the fusing of the vertebrae or disc removal. However, this does not occur in all cases. It depends on the diagnosis.
