The surgical removal of a portion of a vertebra.
A surgical operation to cut through the lamina of a vertebra in the spine to get to the spinal cord.
Surgical procedure in which the bony arches (laminae) of one or more vertebrae are chipped or removed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord, to remove tumors, or to treat disorders involving the vertebral column (e.g., ruptured intervertebral disk).
The surgical removal of one or more pieces of bone from a vertebra. The purpose of a laminectomy is to relieve the pain caused by pressure on a nerve being compressed by bones in the spine from arthritis, trauma, or a cancerous tumor.
Surgical cutting into the backbone to obtain access to the spinal cord. The surgeon excises the rear part (the posterior arch) of one or more vertebrae. The operation is performed to remove tumors, to treat injuries to the spine, such as prolapsed intervertebral (slipped) disk (in which the affected disk is removed), or to relieve pressure on a spinal nerve.
An operation in which the arches of one or more vertebrae in the spinal column are removed in order to expose a portion of the spinal cord. The procedure is used for removal of a tumour, relief of pressure due to a fracture, or disc protrusion.
The excision of a vertebral posterior arch, usually to remove a lesion or herniated disk.
The surgical procedure involves the excision of the lamina as a means to access and extract a herniated disk. By surgically removing the lamina, medical professionals gain direct access to the affected area, enabling them to effectively eliminate the herniated disk.
Laminectomy involves the surgical removal of a portion of one of the laminae, which are the bony arches situated on each vertebra. This procedure serves as the initial step in spinal canal decompression, as well as a treatment option for a herniated disc.
Surgical removal of the bony arches from a vertebra or multiple vertebrae covering the spinal cord.
