What Is a Laminectomy?

Laminectomy is a spinal decompression surgery that involves removing part of the vertebra called the lamina to create more space within the spinal canal. This helps relieve pressure on nerves affected by narrowing (stenosis), disc issues, or degenerative changes.

Conditions We Commonly Treat with Laminectomy:

Spinal stenosis (cervical or lumbar)
Herniated or bulging discs
Degenerative disc disease
Spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra)
Bone spurs from osteoarthritis
Chronic sciatica or nerve root impingement

This procedure can significantly reduce nerve irritation, helping patients stand, walk, and sleep with greater ease.

When Is Laminectomy Recommended?

You might be a candidate for laminectomy surgery if you’re experiencing:

Radiating leg or arm pain
Numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness
Trouble walking or standing for long periods
Pain that hasn’t responded to injections, therapy, or medications
Imaging that reveals nerve compression or spinal narrowing

Our Queens-based spine specialists will conduct a thorough physical exam, review your imaging, and create a plan built around your goals and lifestyle.
