Laminectomy

Laminectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerves by removing a portion of the vertebra known as the lamina. The lamina is the bony arch that forms the back of the vertebral foramen, which encloses the spinal cord. This procedure is commonly used to treat conditions that cause spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or other types of spinal compression.

Indications for Laminectomy:

• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses the spinal cord or nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
• Herniated Disc: Disc material pushing out of its normal space and pressing on nerves.
• Spinal Tumors: Tumors that may cause compression of the spinal cord.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: Severe degeneration of intervertebral discs leading to nerve compression.
• Trauma: Injury to the spine causing compression or instability.
