Laminectomy: Advanced Spinal Relief
At Montesano Spine & Sport in Sarasota, FL, we specialize in providing cutting-edge treatments to alleviate spinal discomfort and restore mobility. Led by our principal orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Pasquale X. Montesano, our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional care through advanced surgical techniques. A laminectomy, one of our key procedures, involves the careful removal of a portion of the vertebral bone called the lamina. This surgery is expertly performed by Dr. Montesano to relieve spinal pressure and address a range of spinal disorders.
Laminectomy is generally used:
When more-conservative treatments such as medication and physical therapy have failed to relieve symptoms.
If symptoms are severe or worsening dramatically.
If you experience muscle weakness or numbness that makes standing or walking difficult.
If you experience loss of bowel or bladder control.
Most commonly performed to treat Spinal Stenosis, spine-related injuries, herniated discs, or tumors.
To reduce pressure on nerve roots which relieves pain and allows you to resume normal daily activities.
Most reports favor a laminectomy as an effective treatment with good results, though symptoms may return over time.
