What is Laminectomy?
Laminectomy is a surgical procedure that removes a portion of the vertebral bone called the lamina. It is often performed to:
- Relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves caused by spinal stenosis
- Reduce pain, numbness, or weakness due to nerve compression
- Improve mobility and daily functioning
During the surgery, the surgeon carefully removes the lamina to create more space within the spinal canal, reducing nerve compression.
What is Discectomy?
A discectomy involves removing part or all of a damaged or herniated disc that is pressing on nearby nerves or the spinal cord. It is recommended for patients experiencing:
- Persistent back or neck pain
- Radiating pain to arms or legs
- Weakness, numbness, or tingling due to nerve impingement
At Khobragade Multispeciality Hospital, minimally invasive discectomy techniques are used whenever suitable, ensuring smaller incisions, less muscle damage, and faster recovery.
What is Spinal Fusion?
Spinal fusion is a procedure where two or more vertebrae are permanently joined using bone grafts, screws, rods, or plates. It stabilises the spine and is often performed for:
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spondylolisthesis
- Severe spinal instability
- Spinal deformities like scoliosis
Fusion helps reduce pain by preventing excessive spinal motion at the problematic segment. Our surgeons use the latest fusion techniques, including posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF), transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), and anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), tailored to each patient’s condition.
