The success rate of a laminectomy surgery is favorable. Following surgery, approximately 70% to 80% of patients will have significant improvement in their function (ability to perform normal daily activities) and markedly reduced level of pain and discomfort.

The laminectomy surgical results are much better for relief of leg pain caused by spinal stenosis, and not nearly as reliable for relief of lower back pain. Lumbar spinal stenosis is often created by the facet joints becoming arthritic, and much of the back pain is from the arthritis. Although removing the lamina and part of the facet joint can create more room for the nerve roots it does not eliminate the arthritis. Unfortunately, the symptoms may recur after several years as the degenerative process that originally produced the spinal stenosis continues.

In certain instances the success rate of a decompression for spinal stenosis can be enhanced by also fusing a joint. Fusing the joint prevents the spinal stenosis from recurring and can help eliminate pain from an unstable segment. Fusion surgery is especially useful if there is a degenerative spondylolisthesis associated with the stenosis. Generally speaking, if there is multi-level stenosis from a congenitally shallow canal a fusion is not necessary; however, if the stenosis is at one level from an unstable joint (e.g. degenerative spondylolisthesis), then a decompression surgery with a fusion is a more reliable procedure.
