Spinal decompression surgery involves procedures designed to alleviate pain caused by spinal nerve compression. This surgery is recommended for patients whose symptoms do not improve with medication or physical therapy.
Diagnosis
The patient undergoes general health check-ups to assess the severity of the disorder and their fitness for surgery. This evaluation includes a series of blood tests, MRI, X-rays, CT scans, and a myelogram.
Line of Treatments
Spinal decompression surgery can be of three types.

• Microdiscectomy: This surgical procedure involves removing a portion of the disc that is causing nerve compression.
• Lumbar Laminectomy: This procedure entails removing the lamina and the thick ligament over the spinal canal. The objective is to decompress the canal from both sides.
• Laminotomy: This surgical procedure involves removing a small portion of the laminar roof and the ligaments above the spinal canal to decompress one side of the canal.
