The average follow-up duration was 52.9 months. Another 97 LSS patients without DLS were selected as the control group. The pre- and postoperative visual analog score (VAS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) were recorded and analyzed to compare clinical outcomes. Radiological findings, such as coronal balance and intervertebral disc height, have also been reported.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Both groups' mean VAS scores for back pain, leg pain, and ODI were significantly improved two weeks after surgery and at the final follow-up (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of surgical complications or patient satisfaction rates.
