Lumbar Laminectomy

Lumbar laminectomy, also known as decompressive laminectomy, is a surgical procedure performed to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves in the lower back (lumbar spine). It involves the removal of the lamina, a part of the vertebral bone, to create more space and alleviate symptoms caused by conditions such as spinal stenosis or herniated discs.

Treatment name Cost range

Lumbar Laminectomy for Spine Rs.168720 to Rs.224960

Spinal Laminectomy Rs.310800 to Rs.414400

Lumbar laminectomy is typically performed by a specialized healthcare professional called a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon. These surgeons have extensive training and experience in spinal surgeries and are qualified to evaluate, diagnose, and perform the procedure.

Lumbar laminectomy may involve the use of various technologies and tools to enhance the precision and effectiveness of the procedure. These may include:

Surgical navigation systems: Advanced imaging and navigation technologies can aid the surgeon in accurately visualizing the anatomy and guiding the surgical instruments during the procedure.

Microscopic or minimally invasive techniques: These approaches utilize specialized instruments and magnification systems to perform the laminectomy with smaller incisions, reduced tissue disruption, and potentially faster recovery.

Intraoperative monitoring: Electrophysiological monitoring techniques, such as electromyography (EMG) or somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), may be employed during the surgery to assess nerve function and ensure their safety.

Surgical lasers: Laser technology can be used in certain cases to assist in removing or shrinking tissues and decompressing nerves.
