A laminectomy is a surgical procedure that removes part of the posterior arch of a vertebra to widen the spinal canal. This procedure is generally considered when conservative treatments (medication, physical therapy) do not provide adequate relief.
The most common causes of laminectomy include:
1. Spinal degeneration:
2. Other causes:
Laminectomy surgery is generally recommended when:
The decision to perform a laminectomy is based on several of factors:
Preparation before laminectomy is critical in ensuring a smooth operation and optimal recovery. It generally includes:
A pre-anesthesia consultation is necessary before surgery to assess your general health and select the most appropriate anesthesia.
Additional tests, such as blood tests and an electrocardiogram, may be ordered to complete your medical evaluation.
Please provide a complete list of all treatments you are taking, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, nutritional supplements, and vitamins. Some treatments may need to be temporarily stopped before surgery.
Don't forget to mention any allergies (medications, foods, other) and medical history (heart disease, diabetes, respiratory problems, etc.). This information is important to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
Stop smoking several weeks before the procedure to promote healing. Follow your doctor's dietary recommendations.
At home, prepare your environment by asking loved ones for help, installing adaptive equipment such as grab bars, and preparing easy-to-eat meals to help you recover.
This surgery involves removing a piece of bone (the vertebral lamina) to widen the spinal canal and release pinched nerves.
Before the surgery, you will meet with your anesthesiologist in Turkey to discuss the details of the general anesthesia. On the big day, you'll be welcomed into the operating room, where the medical team will place you comfortably on an operating table.
The surgeon will then make an incision in your back, just above the area to be treated. Using special surgical instruments, the surgeon will remove the part of the bone (the blade) that is compressing the nerve. Other additional procedures, such as removing part of a joint (arthrectomy) or fusing two vertebrae (arthrodesis),may be performed.
Once the goal of the surgery has been achieved, the surgeon closes the incision by suturing the tissues together. A drain may be placed to drain any bleeding.
A small tube (drain) is inserted to drain the blood and prevent the formation of a hematoma that could compress the nerves. It is usually removed after a few days.
You'll be able to get up the next day with the help of a physical therapist. You may feel dizzy, but this is normal. The physiotherapist will help you to stand up gradually.
After surgery, you will be given pain medication. Further treatment may be necessary. Do not hesitate to inform the nursing team if you have persistent pain.
Your condition will be monitored regularly, especially with regard to healing and sensation in your legs.
Practical advice:
You will usually need to take a month off from work. However, it is important to gradually return to your daily activities while taking care of your back.
Bloating and constipation are common after surgery. These discomforts usually go away on their own. If necessary, medication may be prescribed.
Difficulty urinating may also occur in the first few hours after surgery. In this case, a temporary urinary catheter will be inserted.
All surgery, no matter how routine, carries risks. These risks, although rare, are related to the surgical procedure itself (bleeding, infection, etc.) and may vary from patient to patient.
It's important to note that narrow lumbar canal surgery does not cure all back pain. Even after surgery, you may experience residual pain, especially in the discs or muscles. However, the benefits in terms of pain reduction and improved mobility are often significant.
