Laminectomy is a spine surgery in which the surgeon removes part or all of the lamina — a small arch of bone at the back of a vertebra — to create more space inside the spinal canal and relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. It is most commonly performed for lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the lower back canal), herniated discs, or bone spurs, and is considered when symptoms such as leg pain, numbness, or weakness have not improved with physiotherapy, medications, or injections. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes one to three hours; single-level decompression is a straightforward operation, while multi-level cases or those combined with spinal fusion are more complex and take longer. Most patients notice meaningful relief of leg pain soon after surgery, with full recovery from a simple laminectomy taking three to six months.
The traditional approach where the surgeon makes a midline incision, gently moves the back muscles aside, and removes the lamina to relieve nerve pressure.
