Laminectomy
A laminectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a portion of the vertebral arch of the spine in order to relieve compression of a nerve or the spinal cord. This type of surgery is commonly done to treat spinal stenosis, a condition in which spinal nerves or the spinal cord become compressed in the spinal canal. It may also be done to address other spinal problems such as herniated discs and tumors. The goal of a laminectomy is to improve spinal function, reduce pain, and restore mobility.
