Sažetak
Summary
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is becoming an increasingly prevalent condition due to trends of aging population. That is because, although etiologically heterogenous, it is most often the consequence of degenerative changes of the spine. There is no generally accepted classification of LSS. To make the diagnosis of LSS it is crucial to interrelate history, clinical examination and imaging alongside with neurophysiological findings. The treatment of patients with LSS may be conservative (pharmacological and non-pharmacological) and surgical, and in this respect in the latter minimally invasive techniques are preferred lately. In this paper we comprehensively present a state-of-the-art view on LSS.
