Spinal Laminectomy Surgery In India

The operation normally takes approximately 2 hours. The skin layer is closed with
either steri-strips, sutures or skin clips that will be removed at a later date. A large
dressing will be placed over the incision for protection.

What is a Laminectomy ?

Laminectomy is a term used to describe operations on the spine where the bone
surrounding the spine (the lamina) is removed. There are 7 laminae in the neck,
laminectomy here being called a cervical laminectomy, 12 in the chest (thoracic
laminectomy), and 5 in the lumbar region (lumbar laminectomy).
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. A midline incision in the
lower back is centered over the affected area. Dissection through the back muscles
provides access to the spine. The portion of the vertebra known as the lamina is
removed along with any thickened ligaments to release the nerves traveling down
the center of the spinal canal. Individual nerves are released as they exit the spinal
canal by shaving a portion of the degenerative facet joint. The soft tissues are then
closed in multiple layers with absorbable sutures.

Why is a Laminectomy performed ?

There tend to be two broad reasons for a laminectomy: to relieve pressure on the
spinal cord or the nerves emerging from it, or to allow access to the spinal cord in
order to operate on it. An example of the first type is the common operation for a
slipped disc.
