Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (Imabayashi Orthopedic Hospital)

We perform surgical treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis.

We offer surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis, which can cause leg numbness, pain, difficulty walking, lower back pain, and sensory issues in the legs. Our surgeries are performed by Dr. Kota Watanabe, Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Keio University School of Medicine, and Dr. Kazuki Takeda, Assistant Professor.

While these surgeries typically take about 1.5 to 2 hours, our efficient procedures usually finish in around 40 minutes. Patients typically stay in the hospital for about five days and can expect to feel significant relief from numbness and pain, as well as improved walking ability, right after the surgery.
