Spine Decompression Surgery and its Need

 

Laminectomy: In this surgery, the removal of a part of the enlarged facet joints, whole body lamina, and the narrow ligaments overlying the spinal cord and nerves take place. 

 

Laminotomy: In this method of surgery, a small portion of the ligaments and lamina is removed on one side only. With the help of this method of surgery, the actual support of lamina is left in place and reduce the probability of spinal instability. 

 

Laminoplasty:  It allows the expansion of the spinal cord that can be possible by cutting the laminae on one side only and swinging them open like a door. It is used in the neck area.
