Spine & Back Surgery in Tijuana, Mexico
Removal of part of the vertebral bone to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves — easing numbness, weakness, and pain from spinal stenosis.
A laminectomy removes the lamina — the back part of a vertebra — to create more space for the spinal cord and nerves, relieving pressure caused by spinal stenosis, bone spurs, or a herniated disc.
This decompression procedure is commonly recommended for patients with leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that worsens with walking or standing (neurogenic claudication), a hallmark symptom of lumbar spinal stenosis.
Depending on your case, laminectomy may be performed alone or combined with spinal fusion if instability is also present.
