At a Glance
About this Procedure
A laminectomy is spine surgery that removes all or part of the lamina, the bony arch at the back of a vertebra that covers the spinal canal. Removing it makes more room for the spinal cord and nerves and relieves pressure on them. The surgeon may also remove bone spurs, thickened ligaments or disc fragments. It is most often done in the lower back (lumbar laminectomy) but can also be done in the neck or mid-back.
Laminectomy is the most common surgery for spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal. It can also treat nerve compression from herniated discs, arthritis and bone spurs, fractures and some tumours. Symptoms that may lead to surgery include neck, shoulder or back pain, weakness or numbness in the arms or legs and, in severe cases, bladder or bowel problems, particularly when medicines and physiotherapy have not helped.
The operation is done under general anaesthetic and usually takes one to three hours. Some patients go home the same day, while others stay in hospital for one to two days, or longer if a spinal fusion is done at the same time. Many people can drive within one to two weeks and return to non-strenuous work in about a month. Full recovery takes around four to six weeks after a minimally invasive laminectomy, and up to six months if fusion is also needed.
Laminectomy is offered at Medwell's partner hospitals in Delhi NCR, including BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi, Paras Health, Gurugram, Artemis Hospital, Gurugram and Fortis Hospital, Noida. The treating spine surgeon decides whether laminectomy, with or without fusion, suits you after reviewing your MRI.
