Lumbar Laminectomy
What is a lumbar laminectomy?
这种减压手术是在下背部进行的，以治疗脊柱狭窄或关节炎，导致肌肉无力，行走困难或肠道损失和/或膀胱控制。腰椎椎板切除术通过去除称为椎板的骨骼来在脊柱管中创造空间，该骨用作脊柱管的屋顶。外科医生还将去除任何可能导致症状的韧带或骨马刺，包括疼痛，虚弱或手臂和腿部麻木。
The surgery is performed when conservative treatments, such as physical therapy and medication, fail to relieve symptoms that are interfering with everyday life. It is a more invasive surgery than a laminotomy, which only removes part of the lamina.
腰椎切除术的原因
A doctor may recommend a laminectomy for a number of reasons, including to ease pressure on a spinal nerve, treat a herniated disk, or remove a tumor. The procedure can help relieve the effects of spinal stenosis, which can be caused by injury, arthritis, degenerative conditions, or congenital defects
What to expect during surgery and recovery
While the patient is under general anesthesia, the surgeon makes a small incision over the affected vertebra and then removes the lamina and shaves any enlarged ligaments or bone spurs before closing the incision. In some cases, a fusion may be performed at the same time. Patients are usually discharged within one to three days. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few months. Your spine surgeon will give you specific information related to your particular condition and lifestyle goals, as well as a detailed description of the surgery and instructions on how to make the best recovery.

脖子和脊柱解剖
The spine is divided into the following regions:
- The cervical region (vertebrae C1-C7) encompasses the first seven vertebrae under the skull. Their main function is to support the weight of the head, which averages 10 pounds. The cervical vertebrae are more mobile than other areas, with the atlas and axis vertebra facilitating a wide range of motion in the neck. Openings in these vertebrae allow arteries to carry blood to the brain and permit the spinal cord to pass through. They are the thinnest and most delicate vertebrae.
- 胸部区域（椎骨T1-T12）由上胸部的12个小骨头组成。胸椎是唯一支撑肋骨的椎骨。姿势不良，关节炎和骨质疏松症的肌肉紧张是该地区疼痛的常见来源。
- 腰部区域（椎骨L1-L5）具有更大的椎骨，以吸收举重和携带重物的压力。腰部区域的伤害会导致臀部，腿部和膀胱控制的功能损失。
- s骨区域（椎骨S1-S5）在脊柱底部包括一个大骨。ac骨是三角形的，由五个保护骨盆器官的熔融骨头组成。
