Lumbar discectomy and laminectomy
How long does it take for a lumbar laminectomy?
During the procedure, your surgeon may also perform a spinal fusion, in which two or more bones are connected in the back to better stabilize the spine. Your surgeon may also perform a foraminotomy to widen the area where the nerve roots go through the spine. A laminectomy usually takes one to three hours.
Is a laminectomy and a discectomy the same thing?
A discectomy and a laminectomy are two different operations that were originally the same procedure. Originally, laminectomies were used for both problems. Today, a discectomy removes part of the disc, while a laminectomy removes part of the lamina.
What to expect after laminectomy surgery?
After a diskectomy or foraminotomy, you may still feel pain, numbness, or weakness along the path of the nerve that was under pressure. These symptoms should get better in a few weeks. Recovery after laminectomy and fusion surgery is longer.
Can you tell me about lumbar laminectomy?
A lumbar laminectomy is surgery to ease pressure on the spinal cord and nerves of the lower spine. The doctor took out pieces of bone that were squeezing the spinal cord and nerves. You can expect your back to feel stiff or sore after surgery. This should improve in the weeks after surgery.
