Results and Conclusion: The study found that surgery did improve the functionality of patients who had back pain due to  radiculopathy, lumbar spinal stenosis, and herniated nucleus pulposus. Measured by ODI and Quality of Life (QOL) methodology, the treatment outcomes showed significant improvement.
