Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
In my opinion both , if they are dealing with spine , Equally good to treat / operate spinal stenosis. Spinal stenosis generally has no medical cure - only prolong the initial period for some time before surgery is required. Also the treatment depends on exact cause.
