Spine surgery and why it is needed?

Spine surgery is mostly done when the backbone is squeezed to such an extent that the peripheral nervous system fails to work flawlessly.

There are mainly three kinds of spine surgery that are mostly done.

• Laminotomy/foraminotomy – Shaving off part of the lamina to create a larger opening to relieve the pinched nerve.
• Laminectomy – A Complete removal of the lamina.
• Discectomy – Removal of a particular part of a disc that is compressing a nerve.

A minimal procedure is to be expected after the surgery, and the patient in most of the cases is discharged on the same day. Immediate improvement is seen in most of the patients while on the other hand, some patients show gradual improvement.
