Lumbar Laminectomy

Lumbar laminectomy is a surgical procedure performed on the lower back to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. During the surgery, a surgeon removes a small section of bone called the lamina from the vertebrae. This helps to alleviate pain, numbness, or weakness caused by conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis. The procedure aims to improve mobility and quality of life by allowing more space for the nerves in the spine. It is typically done under general anesthesia and may require rehabilitation for recovery.
