Spinal Decompression Surgery at LSI Can Be Gentler and Less Invasive Than at Other Facilities

Spinal decompression surgery is a generic description for a number of different procedures we perform at Laser Spine Institute for back and neck problems including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, facet disease, pinched nerves, and more. All of these conditions cause pain because bones, spinal discs, or other tissue press on nerves, causing pain and inflammation. A spinal decompression surgery removes the offending tissue, which relieves the compression on the nerves. Similar surgeries are conducted by thousands of hospitals and clinics nationwide, but at Laser Spine Institute we use an endoscopic technique that lessens the trauma on the body and significantly reduces recovery time, among other benefits.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the procedures we perform at LSI that can be classified as spinal decompression surgery:

• Foraminotomy: the interior of the intervertebral foramen (the passage through which nerves exit the spinal canal to access other areas of the body) is cleaned of built up tissue that compresses the nerve. This procedure is used to treat: foraminal stenosis, herniated disc, bulging disc, pinched nerve , bone spurs, arthritis of the spine, and sciatica.
• Laminotomy: a portion of the lamina, a vertebral bone plate that protects the spinal canal, is removed to make more room for the nerves, relieving pressure. This procedure is used to treat: bone spurs, pinched nerve, spinal stenosis, herniated disc, bulging disc, and arthritis of the spine.
• Percutaneous endoscopic discectomy: this is the removal of a portion of a herniated or bulging disc that’s pressing on the spinal cord or nerves, to relieve pressure. This procedure is used to treat: degenerative disc disease, herniated disc, bulging disc, pinched nerve, and sciatica.

All of these treatments, and the others that we administer at LSI, are conducted on an outpatient basis in one of our three state-of-the-art surgery centers in Tampa, Scottsdale, and Philadelphia. This reduces the risk of infection and other complications associated with hospitalization. But spinal decompression surgery at LSI is more than just safe; it’s successful as well. Most of our patients are back to their normal activities within two weeks, and more than 85% of them have a relief from their symptoms within three months of surgery.
