What Exactly is a Laminectomy?

A laminectomy is a surgical procedure that your doctor might recommend to release pressure on your spine, especially to relieve nerve impingement. The laminae make up part of the vertebral arches that protect your spine and can be removed to relieve pressure from degenerating boney structures. This procedure, while not always necessary, is usually a last resort measure when symptoms interfere with daily life.

How Do I Know if I Need This Procedure?

One of the most common reasons an individual may need to undergo this procedure is spinal stenosis. This condition narrows the spinal canal passage ways, which can cause spine compression and pinching on the spinal cord. By removing this excess tissue, surgery can make a big difference in pain and nerve sensation throughout the body. For patients who have a vascular deformation, tumors, or even a tethered spinal cord condition, laminectomy may be the perfect solution.

Helping You to Find the Right Treatment

Some patients find relief from their debilitating back and neck pain by undergoing a laminectomy procedure. If this option has not succeeded in the patient, our surgeons may recommend a minimally invasive procedure that will lead to faster healing and less pain. If you are at NJ Spine and Orthopedic, our board-certified doctors will perform the best care for you, as well as follow your progress until you reach pain-free living.

What Makes Us Different?

We understand the significant negative impact back or neck pain could have on quality of life. At NJ Spine and Ortho, our goal is to get our patients back to enjoying life using minimally invasive techniques that involve the use of tiny incisions and muscle sparing methods to treat the spinal problem. There is a big difference between operating through a 1/2 inch incision and operating through a 5 inch incision. The major differences include:
