1. Procedure Description Spinal decompression surgery, often called a laminectomy, is performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. The surgeon removes the "lamina"—the back part of the vertebra that covers your spinal canal—and any bone spurs or thickened ligaments that are narrowing the space and pinching the nerves.
Surgery Duration: Approximately 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the number of levels involved.
Technique: This is a standard open or minimally invasive decompression focused on anatomical restoration of the spinal canal.
Clinic Highlights: Our surgical team utilizes high-magnification microsurgery and specialized intraoperative nerve monitoring to ensure maximum safety and precision during the decompression. 2. For Who (Patient Suitability)
Target Patients: Individuals experiencing "neurogenic claudication," which includes leg pain, numbness, or weakness that worsens with walking and improves with sitting or leaning forward.
Requirements: A recent MRI of the Lumbar/Cervical spine (within the last 6 months) is mandatory to confirm the degree of stenosis and plan the surgical levels.
Contraindications: Patients with severe systemic infections or those whose symptoms are primarily caused by vascular issues rather than nerve compression.
3. Post-Operation Care & RecommendationsHospital Stay: 1 to 3 nights for monitoring and pain management.
Recovery Timeline: Patients are usually encouraged to walk the day after surgery. Most return to light activities within 4 to 6 weeks.
Travel Readiness: We recommend staying in-country for at least 10–14 days to ensure proper wound healing and to receive a "fit-to-fly" clearance.
Preparation: Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous twisting of the spine for several weeks following the procedure.
