Laminectomy (Spinal Decompression Surgery) Treatment in India

Laminectomy relieves pressure on the spinal cord or nerves by removing the lamina, the bony arch that covers the spinal canal. This decompression procedure is commonly used to treat spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal that can cause pain, numbness, and difficulty walking. By creating more space for the nerves, laminectomy helps restore mobility and reduce nerve-related symptoms.

• Back or neck pain
• Numbness or weakness in the arms or legs
• Difficulty walking or standing for long periods
• Leg pain that improves with sitting or bending forward
• Loss of balance or coordination

Laminectomy is typically recommended for patients with spinal stenosis whose symptoms significantly limit walking or daily activity and who have not responded to physiotherapy, medication, or injections. Imaging studies confirm the extent of nerve compression before surgery.

• Performed under general anesthesia
• An incision is made over the affected spinal segment
• Part or all of the lamina is removed to relieve pressure on the nerves
• May be combined with spinal fusion if instability is present
• Surgery duration is typically 1-3 hours

• 2-4 days hospital stay
• Gradual increase in walking distance over several weeks
• Most patients notice improved leg symptoms within weeks
• Physical therapy recommended to strengthen the back
• Full recovery typically within 6-12 weeks

• Skilled spine surgeons experienced in decompression surgery
• Modern minimally invasive options to reduce tissue trauma
• Comprehensive pre- and post-operative imaging and care
• Transparent, all-inclusive pricing
• Dedicated coordination for travel and recovery support
