15 patients were surgically treated for the lumbar spinal canal stenosis with lumbar scoliosis.They were classified into two groups. The one group had single curve (A group). The other group had double curve (B group). The causes of these scoliosis were mainly attributed to disk degeneration. The cases of B group were accompanied with congenital scoliosis, anterior and lateral displacement. The degrees of curves were more severe in B group than in A group. Clinical symptoms in A group were more prominent in concave side than convex side. On the other hand in B group they tended to be seen on both sides.Decompressive wide laminectomy was usually an adequate procedure, but in cases with instability postero-lateral or anterior spinal fusion was performed. Clinical symptoms were much improved but physical signs were not satisfactory as a result of operative treatment.
