Cervical Laminectomy

Cervical laminectomy is a back-of-the-neck procedure that relieves pain and pressure caused by spinal nerve and spinal cord compression. The procedure enlarges the spinal canal by removing any bony area and surrounding soft tissue that may be impinging on the nerves and causing compression.

Indications for cervical laminectomy

Surgery is typically recommended when conservative treatment options such as medications, physical therapy, and injections have failed to produce results. Cervical laminectomy may be indicated in any of the following conditions.

Cervical canal stenosis
Spondylosis
Intervertebral disc prolapse
Cervical spondylosis
Degenerative changes
Spinal trauma
Spine arthritis
