Lumbar Decompression may be considered when narrowing or other structural changes in the lower spine place persistent pressure on one or more nerve roots. The procedure can involve removal of part of the lamina, ligament, bone spurs, or herniated disc material to create more space for the affected nerves. The exact technique depends on the location and cause of compression. MRI or CT imaging is generally used before surgery to identify the affected spinal levels and guide treatment.
