Alleviate nerve pressure, reduce lower back and leg pain, and restore mobility with expert lumbar laminotomy surgery.
Lumbar laminotomy is a surgical procedure that removes a small portion of the lamina, the bony arch covering the spinal canal, in the lower back. This creates more space within the spinal canal to relieve pressure on compressed nerves caused by spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or bone spurs. Unlike a full laminectomy, laminotomy preserves more of the natural spinal anatomy, which can help maintain stability while reducing symptoms.
Dr. Parham Yashar, recognized as one of the best minimally invasive spine surgeons in Los Angeles, performs lumbar laminotomy with advanced image-guided techniques at our Beverly Hills facility, aiming for precise decompression and faster recovery.
Lumbar laminotomy is designed to relieve symptoms resulting from nerve compression in the lower back, such as:
General anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort and safety.
Incisions are kept under two centimeters whenever possible to minimize scarring and speed recovery.
Dr. Yashar removes a portion of the lamina using microsurgical instruments, relieving nerve pressure while preserving spinal stability.
Incisions are carefully closed. Most patients go home the same day or after a brief hospital stay and begin a structured rehabilitation program.
