Thank you for this very clear, precise explanation. I am going to have this surgery soon and I appreciate learning about what it involves. Your explanation has been extremely helpful. I read many of your YouTube presentations. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing your medical knowledge so readily with readers.

I am one day out of my laminectomy and feeling pretty good and very encouraged. I hold myself back because i already feel much better. 😊

Helpful information, I had this operation done to remove a schwannoma that branched into my T4-T6 vertebrate. Never knew what was actually done though so this was interesting to watch

[chetmarcotti]

Thank you for this video! My husband (31 years old) has been struggling so much with extreme pain in his back for almost 5 years now. We live in Belgium and he has tried everything; they even gave him morphine! The last MRI-scan he had, he got the results: ''"There is wear and osteoarthritis (joint wear) in the L5-S1 area, which leads to a narrowing of the foramen on the left side. This causes pressure on the L5 nerve root on the left, which may explain the pain radiating to the left leg." Did my research on the internet and came across your video.

He has to do Infiltrations soon and after that maybe they'll do a surgery on him, but they are not so positive about it.

Thank you for this video. It educated us alot on this topic.

[juansanchez]

I have a question I have a mass a size peanut on L1 L2 vetebral spinol my neorsergery told me he have to put a piece of bone in order to take it out n he told me I don't need to put a bone back is his right.

[davidgreely]

Don’t we need the spinal process to protect the spinal nerve root?

[NitinVyas-tm]

Thanks for the information Dr. I just have one query. In case of laminotomy, the bone can regrow and occupy the space, which can cause ailment again in similar way. Isn't it?

[JohnFeldmanBaguio]

I have lower back pain that presents after walking for 2 hours. A CT scan showed Broad Based Disc Protrusions at L4-L5 and L5 to S1. Spondylosis of the lumbar spine. I have NO leg pain whatsoever. The first surgeon suggested a spinal fusion and I said NO. Then he said 2 Coflex spacers. I got a second opinion and he said if I don't have leg pain, the Coflex spacers would do more harm than good. He suggested a laminectomy. Any thoughts?

[jaysonterry]

What’s the negatives from this? I’m seeing a surgeon in February and have seen good cases and bad

[sernani]

Thank you for your info, I'll have a bilateral l4 l5 laminectomy and l5 s1 laminectomy with diskectomy in Dallas in December. Do you have videos for this?
Thank you.

[Degueulasse]

Just had my laminectomy done like 4 days ago and honestly the bandage on my back makes me uncomfortable idk what should i do? Take it out since i start feeling good or keep it more 😢

[paulwitmer]

Where do you work Chester I need a laminectomy

[MahmoodSuhail]

I will be having Laminectomy in two days for pinched nerve. My disc herniation is very minimal and doctor told me as if there is no herniation but the nerve stays in an inflamed state all the time. I'm afraid after the surgery the vertebrae becomes weak and I will have to abandon my sports and all the things I'm used to. I'm also scared that a couple of years later will need fusion because all the people did told me they had fusion after a while. Is that true doc?
