Stenosis \Ste*no"sis\, n. [NL., fr. Gr. steno`s narrow.] (Med.) A narrowing of the opening or hollow of any passage, tube, or orifice; as, stenosis of the pylorus. It differs from stricture in being applied especially to diffused rather than localized contractions, and in always indicating an origin organic and not spasmodic.
Other studies have noted the presence of stenosis as a reason for failed lumbar disc surgery and estimated the presence of stenosis in 30 percent of those patients.
