Surgery may be required as a treatment for back or neck pain that interferes with regular everyday activities. A laminectomy is a form of surgery where the spinal bone (lamina) is removed, either entirely or in part. This relieves pressure that may be brought on by tumors, herniated disks, injuries, or narrowing of the canal (spinal stenosis) on the spinal cord or the nerve roots. Only when all other medical therapies have failed is a laminectomy considered.

Laminectomy is also known as “decompression surgery”. In this surgical procedure, a part of the vertebral bone called lamina is removed to create additional space. The lamina is the back part of the vertebrae that covers the spinal canal. Removing the lamina enlarges the spinal canal and thus, helps relieve pressure on the nerves and the spinal cord. Bony growths, especially in people with spinal arthritis, may put additional pressure on the spinal cord. It may cause severe back pain and in some severe cases, can even cause paralysis. Narrowing of the space between the vertebrae is also known as spinal stenosis.
Laminectomy surgery, which is a form of spinal stenosis treatment, helps relieve pressure on the spinal cord and the nerves by creating a room between the vertebrae and the cord. When the pressure on the spinal cord in the case of lumbar spinal stenosis is relieved by creating a space between the lumbar vertebrae, the procedure is known as a lumbar laminectomy. During a lumbar laminectomy, the surgeon may even remove the ligaments or bone spurs pressing the spinal cord.
Before considering a laminectomy, individuals may experience symptoms related to spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or other conditions that lead to pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
Laminectomy is typically done with general anesthesia, meaning you're unconscious during the procedure. The surgical team keeps an eye on your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels throughout. Once you're asleep and can't feel anything:
The surgeon makes a cut in your back over the affected area, moving muscles away to reach the spine. They use small tools to remove bone spurs and just the necessary amount of lamina. The incision size depends on your condition and body size, with minimally invasive surgeries using smaller cuts.
If the laminectomy is part of treating a herniated disk, the surgeon also removes the herniated part and any loose pieces (diskectomy). For issues like a slipped vertebra or spine curvature, spinal fusion may be necessary to stabilize the spine. This involves permanently connecting two or more vertebrae after removing arthritic joints. Bone grafts and, if needed, metal rods and screws may be used. Depending on your situation, the surgeon might use a smaller incision (minimally invasive) and a special microscope for the operation.
Laminectomy surgery takes anywhere between two to three hours to complete. The loss of blood during the surgery is minimal. Shortly after the surgery, the patient is moved to the recovery room. After a few hours, the patient is transferred to the normal hospital room. The patient can expect the following things after the surgery:
The timeline for returning to work varies, influenced by the demands of your job. Depending on factors like lifting, walking, and sitting requirements, some individuals may find themselves back at work within a few weeks. However, if your procedure also involves spinal fusion, a more extended recovery period may be necessary.
Remember, adherence to post-surgery instructions is key. These guidelines, coupled with regular follow-up appointments, contribute to a well-managed recovery process. Factors such as age, overall health, and the extent of the surgery all play a role, making each individual's recovery unique. Open and ongoing communication with your healthcare team ensures that your questions and concerns are addressed throughout this recovery journey.
