Laminotomy Surgery
The laminotomy procedure is a minimally invasive
endoscopic surgery carried out on an out patient
basis.Laminotomy is a surgical procedure that
helps to decompress the spinal cord or the spinal
nerves that emerge from the vertebral column. It
is done with aim of removing any structure that
narrows the spinal canal and free the entrapped
nerves. In this procedure a small incision is
made in the lamina as opposed to laminectomy
where the entire lamina is removed. As a result
laminotomy procedure decompresses the spinal cord
without compromising with the spinal stability.

How does the procedure work?
Laminectomy is performed under general
anesthesia, in this the patient is usually
positioned lying on the side or stomach. Then a
small straight incision is made over the damaged
vertebra. And then a retractor is used to spread
apart the muscles and the fatty tissues covering
the spine. When the laminae have been reached,
the bony arch is cut in order to get to the
ligamentum flavum (which is a band of yellow
tissue attached to the vertebra that helps to
support the spinal column). Thereby an opening is
made in the ligamentum flavum to reach the spinal
canal and then to the compressed nerve. At this
point the cause of compression will be visible
(that may be a herniated disk, tumour, fragmented
disk etc) which is then rectified. This Surgery
is completed in one to three hours.

Benefits of Surgery
This surgery is performed by sedating the patient
under general anesthesia and making him lie on
his stomach. The head is kept slightly bent with
the help of Mayfield clamp to straighten the skin
folds on the neck. A midline incision is made on
the back of the neck corresponding to the
affected spinal segment. The skin is cut open and
the muscles are separated to view the involved
vertebrae.
The lamina are cut through their thickness
longitudinally on one side and grooved on the
other side to keep it hinged to the vertebral
body. The posterior part of the vertebra is swung
open like a door. Small wedges made of bone are
placed in the opened space of the door.
