Laminotomy involves orthopedic and neurosurgery indicated in case of decompressing the spinal cord and spinal nerves originating from vertebral column. Laminatocty aims to get rid of any structure that narrows spinal canal. Laminotomy is the least invasive surgery involving endoscopy. Patients with conditions such as sciatica, Degenerative disc disease, ankylosing spondylitis, spinal stenosis, spondylosis and herniated disc.
How it's done
Decompressive laminectomy removes structure that constricts the spinal canal and releases the nerves there from pressure. Laminotomy leads to partly removing Lamina is a thin layer of bony material, and encloses and protects the spinal cord. Laminectomy results in relieving the pressure on the spinal cord.
Why laminotomy?
The spinal column is made of 33 small bones and each them is called a vertebra. Each of them has a structure - a front portion and arch (vertebral arch) shape in the behind.
The vertebral arch has two parts - transverse processes projecting sideways, two pedicles (the flat bone between the transverse process) and the spinous process (the backward projection). The arches of the vertebra form spinal canal that encloses the spinal cord.
A structure that takes some space within the spinal canal because of factors such as bulging discs, osteophyte, ligament that has become thicker may compress the spinal cord, which is likely to create pain, weakness in the hands or legs, and so on. In a few cases, the function of the bladder may be affected.
Laminotormy by making an surgical incision in the lamina creates space for spinal cord within its cannal, which relives the pressure and the pain symptoms may vanish.
Laminotomy in India
Laminotomy is a surgical operation with minimal invasive techniques using endoscopy. The surgery is done after local anesthesia is administered. A surgical operating (incision) is done in the midline on back at the involved part as is suggested by X-ray image and the symptoms.
A round tube is sent into the incision and a few tubes are place on the first tube slowly of whose size gradually becomes bigger is inserted into the incision.
Finally, a tube of 18 mm diameter a tube of approximately 18 mm diameter is used to insert the laser camera, suction and other instruments. The advantage in this technique is that it does not necessitate cutting the muscles. They are just put aside.
