I have done this 1 year ago on my L5-S1. It was the best decision i made in my life. Before I had 2 years of leg pain every single day non stop, when i woke up after surgery the pain was gone like a miracle. After 2 months of recovery i started to go to the gym and changed my lifestyle, i have been 100% pain free since then.

I had L4 and L5 and S1 done I was in surgery for six hours to fix it. I didn’t know I was walking around with a broken back when I woke up I had no more pain. I’m going on 11 weeks with no pain whatsoever. My doctor was fantastic.

Just had this operation yesterday and the pain I was in was completely gone. I was in hospital for 7 days on morphine and fentanyl injections every few hours the pain was that bad. The surgeon was awesome I’m home today my back is sore but I can sit again. I had to eat all my meals standing up so sitting down is a huge deal. Long story short this was my second spinal operation in 4 months as I had a C5 C7 fusion in September 2023 so really looking forward to 2024 having no more operations lol

My father has a L4-L5 gap and that is all I know at this point. He will not fix it with surgery because he won't spend this much on himself. I am 21 and dont earn yet. I am hoping that I get a job Asap and get this surgery done for my Dad. He has done it all and now it's my turn for sure.

I'll tell my story, maybe help someone in the process. I had my surgery mid august 2023. I am 3.5 weeks out. 2 stage laminectomy l4-l5 / l5-s1. I knew the risks going in and I absolutely hate to hear these horror stories. I did my research and went to the best of the best ortho surgeon in Cleveland Ohio.

My surgery had a couple headaches for lack of a better word. Spinal fluid leakage that was stitched up and was only an issue for 2 hours, 24 hours after surgery in hospital. Hopefully no future issues with that, it does scare me.

Also, 3 weeks out I got an abcess/pimple on my 3" surgery wound. I am on antibiotics and it is shrinking. I looked up and was told a stitch in my muscle was rejected by my body causing the minor abcess. It hurt for a day after they squeezed ot pretty hard, but that is it.

For 6 hours after surgery I was in complete agony. Couldnt move from the surgical pain. Ive never had surgery or felt pain like that. Discharged 36ish hours after surgery. At home I quit the oxy after 2 days, im guessing due to high pain tolerance from having pain for 22 years. The pain was still very much there, but I really needed to poop and avoid liking the pills too much.

Overall I am doing okay. During my follow up exam 3 weeks after, I was in the doctors chair and for the first time in 2 decades I was asked what my pain level was and instead of saying 6-8 I said 0. With confidence.

I almost teared up. I hate hearing these horror stories and pray for you all. I really hope I dont have any of these issues other than the miniscule problems so far.

There are success stories out there that you prob wont see on videos like these.

If you're thinking of surgery Ill say this. I put it off for 22 years. Im only 40. The last 3 years my nerve pain was starting to fk with my basic life. I did everything aside surgery 4 times, everything. Im active, in shape, played sports, aside the last 5 years I only lifted weights and cardio due to pain.
If you need minimal invasive surgery like a laminectomy, so far has been life changing. I did my research, got different opinions, and found the surgeon right for me with the confidence to change my life. I hope it stays this way and I can play hockey with my pops before he hangs the skates up from age.

Thanks for reading, hope it helped someone, any questions just ask. Im pretty active on youtube. Hopefully see the notification

So the bones that they remove get placed back??

[Rhezoloution]

Why so many courtroom animations for this surgery on youtube? Not vert reassuring.

[Spinesurgeon-MangattilRajesh]

Wrong video
We don’t put any bone back after laminectomy !

[Rust-gy]

This animation video show little were the disk removed ? Was more like a fusion or something
???pls explain

[rajpreetvirk]

it is not minimal invasive ..due to interference wirh bone

[kevinmatson]

Utter nonsense!! .. they would never move your spinal column out of the way like that to gain access if you have spinal stenosis! .. and the bones they removed would not come out in one piece and be fitted back in exactly and seamless! They would use ground up donor bone graft to fuse it and Metalwork to fix it!
Very misleading video!!

[max]

This happened to me on Friday the 13th of this year

[ryansyoutube]

That was a little to simple. They glue the bone pieces back on?

[chillnspace]

Are they removing some bone during this procedure?

[GA_MEA_DDICT]

Four disc bulge + right foot drop am dead I need surgery emergency 😢

[musebatiqff]

Kisi ne krwaya he kya
Ko bata sakta he kya
Kesi condition he surgery ke bad
Or kitna charge ata he

[Rust-gy]

I got 4 disk bulge or prolapse for 20 years I rather keep the pain the. Have surgery
Pain she I seat for too long or bend but I’m use now to pain take morphine when so bad
I see many orthopaedic neurosurgeon none of them rush me for surgery yet I’m 66
No leg pain
I do it when I can’t walk any more or when the surgeon decide
I few cortisone injection over those years give some relief
Wait and see
