Laminotomy Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is a laminotomy?

A laminotomy is an open surgical procedure whereby a small opening into the spinal lamina is made and access to the spinal canal is created on the backside of the spine. This allows the surgeon to then remove offending abnormal tissue, bone spurs, or a herniated disc that is causing pressure on the spinal cord or spinal nerves.
