The goal of surgery for cervical stenosis with myelopathy is to relieve compression of the spinal cord to prevent further damage. [spine-health.com]

Surgery may be required to prevent further damage to the cord itself and prevent paralysis. In the lower back, spinal stenosis symptoms may cause radiculopathy. This may result in pain in a leg with weakness, numbness and tingling. [texasspineandneurosurgerycenter.com]

Usually spinal stenosis prevents you from walking beyond a certain distance. You then have to stop because of increasing pain and numbness in one or both of your legs. The symptoms can also occur when standing. [patient.info]

The surgeon will decompress the affected nerve in your spinal cord that is causing your pain, and then insert an implant to stabilize your spine and help prevent future narrowing of your spinal canal. [laserspineinstitute.com]
