Popis:	We have operated on 99 patients in recent 5 years.The clinical follow-up of 86 cases was obtained by re-examination and 89 cases by questionnaires. They were followed for minimum of 6 months after operation. We evaluated these cases by the assessment of treatment of low back pain, tentatively, proposed by the Japanese Orthopedic Association committee in 1984. Cosequently, more excellent cases were recognized in the antherior decompression group (with fusion) than the posterior decompression group (with non-fusion). There were distinct differences between the posterior group and the anterior group, regarding low back pain, gait, leaning forward, sitting and lifting or holding heavy objects. Moreover, postoperative disc narrowing was found in 51.2% of L4-5 discs and 33.3% of L5-S1 discs. And 46.3% of the former and 33.3% of the latercases had the residual low back pain.
