Laminectomy Surgery in Bhubaneswar

When the narrowing of the spinal canal occurs, it leads to numbness, pain, and weakness, especially in the legs, termed spinal stenosis. Laminectomy is a surgery done to address spinal stenosis. This surgery relieves pressure on the spinal cord or nerves by removing part of the vertebra called the lamina, resulting in creating space in the spinal canal. This helps in improving the patients’ lives. The lamina is a section of bone that forms the back part of the vertebral arch, covering the spinal canal.

When conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or injections fail to provide relief, surgeons consider Laminectomy. The surgery is typically performed on the lumbar (lower back) or cervical (neck) regions of the spine, depending on the location of the nerve compression. In some cases, a Laminectomy may be performed along with a Discectomy, where a herniated or bulging disc is also removed to further relieve pressure on the nerves.

Laminectomy surgery in Bhubaneswar is usually performed under general anaesthesia, and the recovery process can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient's overall health. Patients may need to stay in the hospital for a short period post-surgery and will often undergo physical therapy to regain strength and mobility. While Laminectomy can provide significant relief from pain and improve function, it carries risks like any surgery, including infection, bleeding, and the potential for spinal instability, which might require further surgical intervention.
