What Is a Laminectomy?

Laminectomy is a type of spinal decompression surgery that removes a portion of the vertebra, known as the lamina, to alleviate pressure on spinal nerves. It’s commonly used when conditions like spinal stenosis or disc herniation narrow the spinal canal and cause pain, weakness, or mobility issues.

Conditions We Treat with Laminectomy:

  • Spinal stenosis (cervical or lumbar)
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Spondylolisthesis (vertebral slippage)
  • Bone spurs from arthritis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Chronic sciatica or radiculopathy

When to Consider Laminectomy

You may be a candidate for this procedure if you’re experiencing:

  • Pain or numbness in your legs or arms that hasn't improved with physical therapy or injections
  • Weakness or difficulty walking due to spinal nerve compression
  • Disrupted sleep, work, or movement from radiating back or neck pain
  • Imaging that shows narrowing of the spinal canal or nerve root impingement

Our Bronx team will perform a detailed evaluation to determine if laminectomy is the most appropriate step for your recovery.

What to Expect from Laminectomy Surgery

Pre-Surgical Consultation

You’ll meet one-on-one with a spine surgeon to review your history, symptoms, and imaging. We’ll help you understand your options and what to expect during recovery.

During Surgery

Performed under general anesthesia, a small incision is made to access the spine. The lamina is removed to relieve pressure on compressed nerves. Minimally invasive techniques are used whenever possible to minimize tissue disruption.

After Surgery

  • Many patients return home the same day or next morning
  • Light movement typically resumes within 1–2 weeks
  • Physical therapy may be recommended to rebuild strength and flexibility
  • Follow-up visits at our Bronx office support your long-term recovery
