Laminectomy
Minimally-Invasive Spine Surgery
Laminectomy is a very common spinal procedure in which the lamina bone is removed. As we age, the discs which are the soft tissue structures of our spine often will start to degenerate and other structures become arthritic and enlarged – putting pressure on surrounding spinal structures. The goal of a laminectomy is to relieve this pressure on the spinal cord or surrounding nerves. A laminectomy can be performed in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine, however the lumbar is the most common location. Often patients that are candidates for this procedure have symptoms of pain, stiffness, numbness, burning/tingling sensation, trouble with coordination, or radiating pain into the arms or legs.
