Lumbar Laminectomy is a surgical procedure performed for narrowing the spinal canal. During the procedure, an incision is made in the lower back, pulling the muscles aside to expose the spine. Then, the specialist will remove bone and bone spurs that are pressing onto nerves and will also cut away thickened ligaments to decompress the area. An experienced Orthopaedic Surgeon should be preferred for Lumbar Laminectomy. The success rate for the treatment remains around 85-90%. A few possible risks associated to Lumbar Laminectomy include bleeding, infection, blood clots in the legs, nerve damage, spinal fluid leak, or worsening of the chronic back pain.
