Laminectomy is performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves caused by conditions like arthritis, bone fractures, bone spurs, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and more. Laminectomy helps treat persistent neck or back pain, numbness or tingling in the back, muscle weakness, difficulty walking or standing, etc. Laminectomy is more common among older adults, people with physically demanding jobs, obese individuals, people with a history of spine injury, and others.

• Cervical Laminectomy: A surgical procedure performed on the cervical vertebrae in the neck.
• Lumbar Laminectomy: The Procedure involves the surgical removal of part or all of the lamina in the lower back.
• Sacral Laminectomy: Sacral laminectomy refers to a procedure that removes the lamina on the fused sacral vertebrae.

• Cervical Laminectomy: Costs around ₹2,85,000 to ₹4,60,000 
• Lumbar Laminectomy: Priced at ₹1,00,000 to ₹3,50,000
• Sacral Laminectomy: Costs approximately ₹1,00,000 to ₹2,50,000

Note: The costs mentioned above are approximate and can vary based on factors such as the hospital’s location, the surgeon’s expertise, the complexity of the procedure, and the patient’s specific condition.

• Increased Pain: The root cause could continue worsening to cause greater and constant pain.
• Numbness & Weakness: Nerve compression for long can result in numbness and weakness in different areas of the body, leading to extensive motor deficits.
• Loss of Bowel & Bladder Control: Nerve compression for a prolonged time could impact the nerves responsible for bowel & bladder function.
• Irreversible Neurological Damage: If compression is long-standing and severe, it can result in irreversible damage to the spinal cord & nerves.
• Paralysis: An untreated condition may cause compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots, which may lead to paralysis, incomplete or complete.
