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.

FAQ about Laminectomy
Laminectomy or open decompression of the spine is a low-traumatic operation during which the neurosurgeon removes part of the vertebra - the arch. The doctor prescribes it for intervertebral hernia, injuries and degenerative changes in the spine.
The main advantages of this treatment are a small blood loss during the operation and a quick recovery.
What are the types of open spinal decompression?
There are several types of operation:
- interlaminar - resection of the arches of two adjacent vertebrae;
- osteoplastic - after resection of the vertebral arch, the doctor closes the hole with a special implant;
- exploratory - a diagnostic operation to assess the condition of the spinal canal.
What are the indications and contraindications for the procedure?
Indications:
- narrowing of the spinal canal;
- hernia of one or more intervertebral discs;
- bone growths (osteophytes) of the spine;
- spinal tumor;
- disorders caused by pinching of the spinal cord (disorders of urination and digestion, loss of sensation and impaired mobility of the limbs).
Main contraindications:
- inflammatory or infectious diseases;
- pregnancy;
- acute or chronic disorders of the heart;
- respiratory failure;
- blood clotting disorders;
- diabetes;
- severe conditions caused by another disease.
What does preparation for surgery include?
Before the operation, the patient must undergo an examination:
- blood test;
- Analysis of urine;
- coagulogram;
- electrocardiogram (ECG);
- checking liver function;
- chest x-ray;
- CT or MRI of the spine
How is the procedure and recovery going?
During the procedure, the patient is under general anesthesia. The neurosurgeon makes a small longitudinal incision (up to 3 cm), removes the vertebral arches and sutures.
In the first days, to reduce pain, the doctor prescribes a course of analgesics to the patient.
Full recovery period takes up to 6 weeks , during which you can not bend over sharply, lift weights and sit for a long time. If the work is associated with intense physical activity, then their maximum limitation is recommended. In this case, the patient must perform a set of therapeutic exercises. In some cases, physiotherapy is prescribed.
What is the cost of a laminectomy?
The following factors influence the price:
- method of carrying out the procedure;
- selected country and clinic;
- non-medical expenses (transfer, translator, meals and accommodation for the accompanying person).
In many clinics, the cost includes anesthesia, the operation itself, hospitalization, medicines and consumables. Check the exact cost for your case with the Bookimed coordinating doctor.
