What is important to know about the procedure?
- Laminectomy or open decompression of the spine is the removal of part of the vertebra (its arch). It is prescribed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves that is caused by a herniated disc, tumor, or injury. Thanks to the procedure, patients get rid of the unpleasant manifestations of the disease (pain, paralysis of the limbs, etc.).
- The operation is safe . In order for the operation to be carried out accurately and safely in the largest neurosurgical centers, doctors use special surgical robots. These units calculate the optimal access to the injured vertebra based on examination data and track the location of surgical instruments in real time. Such an operation minimizes the possibility of medical errors and subsequent complications.
- Recovery takes up to 3 days. To shorten the period of postoperative rehabilitation, neurosurgeons perform the intervention endoscopically. The method allows you to remove the vertebral arch through 3-4 thin incisions up to 2 cm in size. This minimizes damage to muscles, blood vessels and nerve endings, so all tissues quickly heal and recover. A few hours after the operation, the patient sits down, and the next day he moves freely.
