In Zusammenschau aller Ergebnisse dieser Studie kann man zusammenfassen, dass beide Operationsmethoden eine suffiziente Dekompression mit hervorragenden klinischen Ergebnissen bezüglich Schmerzreduktion, Funktionsverbesserung und Patientenzufriedenheit bei LSS verzeichnen, allerdings mit Vorteilen zugunsten der unilateralen Laminotomie mit Undercutting. In Zukunft sollte das Ergebnis der Operationsverfahren monosegmentale unilaterale Dekompression und unilaterale Dekompression mit Undercutting der Gegenseite als mögliche Dekompressionsmethoden bei Spinalkanalstenose mit einem längeren Follow up und einem größeren Patientenkollektiv in einer dem Studien-Design entsprechenden prospektiven randomisierten Studie bestätigt werden.
