Relief from Spinal Stenosis — Minimally Invasive in Istanbul
Narrowing of the spinal canal causing leg pain and walking difficulty. Our decompression techniques restore mobility with minimal recovery time.
What is Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses the spinal cord or nerve roots. It most often affects the lumbar spine (causing neurogenic claudication) or the cervical spine (causing myelopathy).
Symptoms include leg pain, heaviness, and weakness when walking — typically relieved by sitting or bending forward. MRI is the diagnostic gold standard and guides surgical planning.
- Most common in adults over 60, related to degenerative disc and facet arthritis
- Neurogenic claudication: leg pain on walking, relieved by sitting
- Conservative treatment (injections, physio) helps many patients significantly
- Decompressive surgery relieves symptoms in 80–90% of carefully selected patients

Decompression — Tailored to Your Anatomy
Conservative Management
Physiotherapy, epidural injections, and walking aids manage mild-to-moderate stenosis effectively for many patients.
Micro-laminectomy / Laminotomy
Minimally invasive removal of bone and ligament tissue compressing the nerves — preserving spinal stability.
Interspinous Spacer (DIAM / Coflex)
A small implant placed between spinous processes to maintain canal space without a full laminectomy. Day-case procedure.
Decompression + Fusion
When stenosis is combined with instability or spondylolisthesis, spinal fusion is added to prevent recurrence.
