Lumbar Microdiscectomy/Laminectomy (2 Levels)​ in Kansas

A lumbar microdiscectomy/laminectomy is a spinal operation in the lower back. During the laminectomy portion of the surgery, the surgeon removes bone spurs and tissues associated with arthritis of the spine to create space. It usually involves removing a small piece of the back part (lamina) of the small bones of the spine (vertebrae). During the microdiscectomy portion, the doctor frees the nerve by removing small fragments of disc, bone, and ligament. This procedure can relieve pain and other symptoms that occur when a herniated disc in the spine presses on an adjacent nerve root.
