Laminectomy
Excellence in Laminectomy Solutions
Welcome to Universal Hospital, where we specialize in Laminectomy—a surgical procedure designed to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Our dedicated team of skilled surgeons is committed to providing personalized and effective care to improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from conditions such as spinal stenosis and herniated discs.
Conditions Treated with Laminectomy:
Laminectomy is a surgical procedure designed to address specific conditions affecting the spinal canal by removing a portion of the lamina, the bony arch of the vertebra.
Common conditions include:
- Spinal Stenosis: Laminectomy may be performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves in cases where the spinal canal is narrowed.
- Herniated Discs: Surgical intervention to relieve pressure on spinal nerves caused by a bulging or herniated disc.
- Bone Spurs (Osteophytes): Removal of bony growths that may compress the spinal cord or nerve roots.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Surgical intervention to address conditions where disc degeneration leads to spinal canal narrowing.
- Lumbar Radiculopathy: Laminectomy may be performed to decompress nerve roots affected by conditions in the lumbar spine.
Laminectomy Procedure:
- Preoperative Evaluation: Comprehensive assessments, including imaging studies, are conducted to precisely diagnose the spinal condition requiring laminectomy.
- Patient Consultation: Detailed discussions with patients to explain the diagnosis, surgical options, and expected outcomes, including the option of laminectomy.
- Surgical Intervention:
- The patient is positioned on the operating table, and the surgical site is prepared.
- An incision is made over the affected area of the spine.
- The surgeon removes a portion of the lamina, enlarging the spinal canal and relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots.
- Postoperative Care and Rehabilitation: Meticulous postoperative care, including physical therapy, to support the patient’s recovery and rehabilitation.
Advantages of Laminectomy:
- Spinal Canal Decompression: Laminectomy effectively decompresses the spinal canal, alleviating symptoms associated with spinal cord or nerve root compression.
- Preservation of Spinal Stability: While the lamina is removed, other spinal structures are left intact, preserving stability.
- Minimally Invasive Options: Depending on the case, minimally invasive laminectomy techniques may be employed, leading to smaller incisions and potentially faster recovery.
