University Hospital is a trusted healthcare provider for Laminectomy, offering spinal decompression surgery supported by experienced neurosurgeons, orthopedic spine surgeons, specialised operating facilities, and multidisciplinary care. Established in 1842, the SAC accredited hospital is situated in Basel, Switzerland and has 773 beds.

Laminectomy creates additional space within the spinal canal by removing part of the vertebral bone that may be contributing to nerve or spinal cord compression. The procedure can help address symptoms such as back pain, limb pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty walking when these symptoms are related to spinal compression. Before surgery, the spine specialist evaluates neurological findings, imaging results, spinal stability, and overall health to determine the most appropriate surgical approach.
