What Is a Laminectomy?

A laminectomy is a spinal decompression surgery that removes part of the vertebral bone (lamina) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. It is often recommended for patients whose symptoms persist despite conservative treatments such as physical therapy or pain injections.

Laminectomy may be appropriate for:

  • Spinal stenosis
  • Herniated discs
  • Bone spurs
  • Spondylolisthesis
  • Degenerative arthritis

The goal is to ease nerve compression that causes symptoms like shooting leg pain, numbness, weakness, or loss of mobility.

Conditions Treated with Laminectomy

At our Manhattan office, our spine specialists may recommend a laminectomy to address:

  • Lumbar or cervical spinal stenosis
  • Sciatica and radiating leg pain
  • Nerve root compression
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Degenerative spine disorders
  • Post-injury spinal instability
  • Spondylolisthesis (vertebral slippage)

What to Expect from Your Laminectomy Procedure

We personalize every procedure based on your spinal condition and lifestyle. Here’s a general overview of the process:

Initial Evaluation

You’ll receive a full clinical assessment and advanced imaging—MRI, CT scan, or X-ray—to confirm the diagnosis and determine if surgery is the best next step.

The Procedure

During surgery, a small incision is made, and the lamina is removed to relieve pressure. Our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, leading to shorter recovery times and less postoperative pain.

Recovery & Follow-Up

Most patients go home the same day or the next. Your post-op care plan includes in-office physical therapy and close follow-ups to monitor healing and progress.
