What Is a Laminectomy?

A laminectomy is a type of spinal decompression surgery that removes part of the vertebral bone, called the lamina, to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nearby nerves. This procedure is typically recommended when non-surgical treatments—like injections or physical therapy—no longer offer relief.

Laminectomy may be used to treat:

  • Spinal stenosis
  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spondylolisthesis (vertebral slippage)
  • Bone spurs from arthritis
  • Nerve compression leading to sciatica or radiculopathy

By creating more space within the spinal canal, laminectomy can significantly reduce pain, numbness, and weakness caused by nerve compression.

What to Expect During Laminectomy Surgery

Your Evaluation

Your first visit includes a complete review of your symptoms, medical history, and prior treatments. Based on your case, our spine team will determine if laminectomy is the right next step.

The Procedure

Laminectomy is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision and removes the affected portion of the lamina to decompress the spinal nerves. Minimally invasive techniques are used whenever appropriate to help reduce recovery time and post-surgical discomfort.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Most patients return home the same day or within 24 hours. After surgery, you’ll receive a tailored physical therapy plan to rebuild strength, improve mobility, and support long-term healing.
