A member asked:
What is a lumbar laminectomy like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be helpful: You can see a description of this procedure at www.Spine-health.Com . The surgeon will go into your back with a small incision and remove a piece of your vertebrae called the lamina, which will relieve pressure where you most likely have a bulging or herniated disc.
