About Laminectomy

A laminectomy is a common spine surgery performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots by removing a portion of the vertebral bone called the lamina. This procedure, often referred to as decompression surgery, creates more space within the spinal canal, alleviating symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness caused by spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or other conditions. Typically performed by a neurosurgeon or orthopedic spine surgeon, it can be done using traditional open techniques or minimally invasive approaches. The goal is to improve mobility and quality of life by addressing the source of nerve compression in the spine.

Follow-up visit for my cervical disc...

Follow-up visit for my cervical disc replacement. Dr. Dwivedi remembered my daughter's board exam results and asked about them first. His staff coordinated with insurance for my scans - clinical excellence matched by human touch.
