Transforming Lives with Laminectomy and Excision of Tumour

If you are suffering from pain, numbness or weakness in one or both legs, shoulder blade pain or bladder and bowel problems then a surgical procedure called as Laminectomy could be the answer to your ailments.

The term Laminectomy is a combination of words and derived from lumber (lower spine), lamina (part of the spinal canal's bony structure) and -ectomy (removal).

The condition called as the nerve root compression or a â€˜pinched nerve' puts pressure on one or more spinal nerve roots. To relieve pressure on these spinal nerve roots Laminectomy is performed.

Lumbar Laminectomy surgery is performed with the patient lying on the abdomen or side after general anesthesia is administered which puts the patient to sleep. The surgeon makes an incision in the lower back to reach the lumbar spine.
