Lumbar Laminectomy
A lumbar laminectomy is a surgical procedure used to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves in the lower back. It involves removing part or all of the lamina, which is the back portion of a vertebra that covers the spinal canal.
Low back pain
Leg pain or sciatica
Numbness or weakness in the legs
Difficulty walking
By removing the lamina and any bone spurs or disc material compressing the nerves, a laminectomy helps create more space in the spinal canal, often leading to symptom relief.
It can be done as a standalone surgery or combined with other procedures like spinal fusion, depending on the stability of the spine.
