Patient Education

Decompressive laminectomy is the most common type of surgery done to treat spinal stenosis, a medical condition in which the spinal cord narrows, compressing the spinal cord and nerves. This surgery is done to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or spinal nerve roots caused by age-related changes in the spine and to treat other conditions, such as injuries to the spine, herniated discs, or tumors. In many cases, reducing pressure on the nerve roots can relieve pain and allow you to resume normal daily activities.
