Laminectomy / Decompression Surgery
Laminectomy / Decompression Surgery Treatment
Treatment Range Hospital in Hyderabad offers advanced laminectomy and decompression surgery for patients suffering from spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or nerve compression. Our experienced spine surgeons perform these procedures to remove part of the vertebral bone (lamina) or disc material, relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerves and reducing pain, numbness, or weakness.
With the use of minimally invasive techniques, we aim to preserve spinal stability while providing maximum nerve relief. Whether it’s lumbar or cervical decompression, our patient-focused approach ensures faster recovery, reduced hospital stay, and effective long-term outcomes. Comprehensive post-surgical rehabilitation is provided to support a full return to daily activities.
For laminectomy or decompression surgery in Hyderabad, Treatment Range Hospital is a leading choice for expert spine care. Our combination of skilled surgeons, advanced technology, and personalized treatment plans ensures safe and successful results.
- Your 6 - Phase health Process
Your Complete Laminectomy / Decompression Surgery Journey
🩺 Phase 1: Symptoms Identification
- Back or neck pain with leg/arm weakness or numbness
- Difficulty walking or standing for long periods (neurogenic claudication)
- Loss of bladder or bowel control in severe cases (cauda equina syndrome – medical emergency)
- Common in patients with spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or bone spurs
🔬 Phase 2: OPD Consultation with Spine Specialist
- Detailed history of symptoms and functional limitations
- Neurological examination to assess reflexes, sensation, and muscle strength
- Initial imaging (X-rays) to check for alignment issues
- Discussion of non-surgical options like physiotherapy, medications, and epidural injections
🧪 Phase 3: Diagnosis & Planning
- MRI or CT scan for detailed evaluation of nerve compression
- Assessment of levels needing decompression (single vs multi-level)
- Planning surgical approach: standard laminectomy, laminotomy (partial removal), or minimally invasive decompression
- Preoperative blood tests and anesthesia clearance
🔪 Phase 4: Treatment Plan
- Laminectomy Procedure:Removal of part of the lamina (vertebral bone) and possibly ligament or disc material
- Creates more space in the spinal canal to relieve pressure on nerves
- Can be combined with discectomy or spinal fusion if instability is present
- Performed under general anesthesia; duration varies with levels treated
🏥 Phase 5: Post-Surgery Care
- Hospital stay: 1–3 days (shorter for minimally invasive cases)
- Wound care and pain management
- Early mobilization encouraged to prevent stiffness
- Physiotherapy started as advised to strengthen back muscles and improve flexibility
- Follow-up visits for wound check and recovery monitoring
💪 Phase 6: Recovery
- Return to light activity: 4–6 weeks
- Avoid heavy lifting or twisting: 3 months
- Significant improvement in leg/arm symptoms and walking ability for most patients
- Long-term spine care with exercises and posture correction to prevent recurrence

Helping you understand Our healthcare
Laminectomy is a surgical procedure where a portion of the vertebral bone (lamina) is removed to enlarge the spinal canal and relieve pressure on compressed nerves. It’s often performed for spinal stenosis or herniated discs.
Recommended for patients who have:
- Severe back or neck pain radiating to arms or legs
- Difficulty walking or standing due to nerve compression (neurogenic claudication)
- Failed conservative treatments like medications, physiotherapy, or epidural injections
- Laminectomy: Complete removal of the lamina for wider decompression
- Laminotomy: Partial removal of the lamina for targeted nerve relief
While it’s a surgical procedure under general anesthesia, modern minimally invasive techniques make it safer with smaller incisions and quicker recovery.
Most patients return to light activities within 4–6 weeks. Full recovery, including strengthening exercises and spinal care, may take 3–6 months.
