• While looking for a surgeon to look into your
  lumbar decompression, you might be confused
  between an orthopedic and a neurosurgeon.

  surgeon or a neurosurgeon can be the right
  choice. However, they have their differences to

• 2. Success Rates
• The lumbar depression surgery success rate is
  about 90, which is decently high as compared to
  the seriousness of the procedure. Though there is
  little risk of dying from the procedure of
  surgery, the aftermath of the treatment can be of
  a little inconvenience for some.
• The nerves may take a long time to heal and the
  patients who have undergone the surgery continue
  to feel the weakness in their body for up to a
  year.

  an effective treatment for spondylolisthesis,
  which is a medical condition of one bone slipping
  onto the bone below it.
• Though not the first option for many, it is
  usually used only when the non-surgical methods
  fail to ease the pain or discomfort to the
  patients.
