Exploring Spinal Insights: Recent Advances in Laminectomy Research

Abstract

Jun Yang*

Laminectomy, a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a portion of the vertebral bone known as the lamina, is a cornerstone in the treatment of various spinal conditions, including degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, and certain types of spinal tumors. By providing decompression of the spinal cord or nerve roots, laminectomy aims to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function. However, as spinal surgery evolves, so too does the research and understanding surrounding laminectomy, leading to improvements in surgical techniques, patient outcomes, and post-operative care.
