What is Laminectomy Surgery?
Laminectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at relieving pressure on the spinal cord and nerves by removing the lamina, a small portion of the vertebrae. It is commonly performed to treat conditions like spinal stenosis, herniated discs, and nerve compression. This procedure alleviates pain, restores movement, and improves overall spinal function. Laminectomy is often recommended when conservative treatments such as physical therapy and medications fail to provide relief. With advancements in medical technology, the surgery is now minimally invasive, ensuring faster recovery and minimal discomfort for patients.
