Laminotomy Procedure
At OC Spine Center, we take pride in helping our patients find relief from debilitating pain caused by spinal conditions. We offer the top treatment options that include controlled methods of treatment and minimally invasive spine surgeries. We strive to customize the perfect treatment plan for all spine conditions. In most cases, conservative efforts will provide optimal results. If symptoms remain, our board-certified physicians may recommend one of our spine surgeries. We offer two types of spine surgeries that include specialized decompression and stabilization procedures. A laminotomy surgery is a type of decompression surgery utilized to treat various spinal conditions that place pressure on nerves and result in potentially harmful symptoms.
Laminotomy Surgery Treats:
- Spinal stenosis
- Bulging discs
- Pinched nerves
- Bone spurs
- Sciatica
- Osteoarthritis
What to Expect
The spine is lined from the cervical to the lumbar region with vertebrae and discs. At the back of each vertebrae is a small bone that is the lamina. The lamina can place pressure on a surrounding nerve due to various spinal conditions and can cause chronic pain throughout the body. A laminotomy most commonly targets localized pain, numbness, tingling and muscle weakness. During this procedure, our spine specialists will remove the part lamina associated with the compression and relieve symptoms.
