Lumbar Laminectomy

Lumbar Laminectomy is a spinal surgery performed to relieve pressure on the nerves in the lower back (lumbar spine). During the procedure, the surgeon removes a small portion of the lamina, the bony covering at the back of the vertebra, to create more space for the compressed spinal nerves. It is commonly recommended for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, herniated discs, bone spurs, degenerative spine disease, or nerve compression causing persistent lower back pain or sciatica.

Your Care Journey

We believe in complete transparency. Here is what you can expect at every step of your procedural journey with our specialized medical team.

Before Surgery

The spine specialist performs a detailed evaluation including physical and neurological examination, MRI or CT scan, X-rays, blood tests, and ECG. Patients must fast before surgery, adjust medications, and stop smoking if possible.

Day of Surgery

Under general anaesthesia, a small incision is made over the affected area. The surgeon carefully removes part of the lamina to create more space for compressed nerves. Bone spurs or herniated disc material may also be removed before the incision is closed.

Post Surgery

Most patients begin walking within 24 hours. They are advised to walk regularly, take prescribed medications, attend physiotherapy, avoid bending/twisting, keep the wound clean, and attend follow-up appointments.
