What Is a Laminectomy?

A laminectomy is a surgical procedure that removes a portion of the vertebral bone—called the lamina—to alleviate pressure on spinal nerves. This decompression surgery is typically recommended when conservative therapies like physical therapy, injections, or medications have not relieved your symptoms.

Common reasons for laminectomy include:

  • Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra)
  • Bone spurs or arthritis-related nerve compression
  • Degenerative disc disease

The goal is to relieve nerve irritation that causes radiating pain, numbness, weakness, or mobility limitations—especially in the lower back and legs.

Conditions Treated with Laminectomy

Our Brooklyn spine specialists may recommend laminectomy for patients experiencing:

  • Lumbar or cervical spinal stenosis
  • Chronic sciatica or nerve-related leg pain
  • Disc herniations causing nerve compression
  • Post-traumatic or degenerative spinal issues
  • Radiculopathy (pain that radiates along a nerve path)
  • Instability from arthritis or spinal degeneration

We carefully evaluate your condition and symptoms to determine if laminectomy in Brooklyn is the right treatment to help relieve pressure on your spinal nerves and restore mobility.

What to Expect from Laminectomy Surgery

Initial Consultation

Your surgeon will evaluate your medical history, symptoms, and any prior imaging to determine if laminectomy is appropriate. We’ll walk you through your treatment plan and what recovery will involve.

The Procedure

Laminectomy is typically performed under general anesthesia. A small incision is made near the affected area, and part of the lamina is carefully removed to decompress the nerve. Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive techniques to reduce recovery time and post-op discomfort.

Recovery & Rehab

  • Many patients go home the same day or the following morning
  • Mild activity can resume within days, depending on your progress
  • A customized physical therapy plan will help strengthen your back and improve mobility

Our team remains closely involved in your post-operative recovery to support long-term success.
