Spinal stenosis is a condition that causes a narrowing of the spinal canal, which can compress the spinal nerves, resulting in pain. When this condition occurs in the lower back it is referred to as lumbar stenosis.
Canal Stenosis occurs when the spinal canal narrows and begins to press on the spinal cord or nerves. This can lead to symptoms such as back pain, leg pain, numbness, weakness, and difficulty walking. While mild cases can often be managed with medications, physiotherapy, or injections, severe cases may require surgery such as laminectomy, discectomy, spinal decompression, or spinal fusion. To make these surgeries safer and more precise, advanced imaging technology is used. One such innovation is the O-arm® O2® Surgical Imaging System.
By combining surgical expertise with the O-arm® O2® system, patients with lumbar or cervical canal stenosis receive world-class care that ensures accuracy, safety, and faster recovery.
