What is Laminectomy?
- Laminectomy is the surgical removal of lamina to ease the pressure off the spinal cord or nerves.
- The procedure may also be performed for the removal of extra bone growths called spurs, an occurrence in people suffering from arthritis.
- Lamina is present at the back of the spinal canal and makes a roof over it.
- Laminectomy involves making an incision in the mid portion of the back or the neck.
- After moving aside, skin, ligaments and muscles, your surgeon will either completely or partially remove the lamina bones together with the spinous process.
- Tiny disc fragments, bone overgrowths and other soft tissue may also be removed.
- The surgery may be followed by a foraminotomy to release pressure from compressed nerves.
- Your surgeon may also perform spinal fusion to give stability to your spine, post surgery.
- Laminectomy takes 1-3 hours to complete.
Who Makes a Candidate?
- Occurrence of spurs may decrease the space available for spinal cords and nerves. This may increase pressure and result in discomfort that may radiate to your limbs. Laminectomy may be helpful in this case as it will increase space in the spinal canal by removing the lamina.
- You may also be recommended laminectomy if medications or physiotherapy have failed to alleviate your symptoms, or if you have trouble standing or walking because of weakened muscles and numbness.
