✅ Laminectomy – This procedure removes a portion of the lamina (bony arch of the spine) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. It’s often done for spinal stenosis or severe nerve compression. 🦴🔬
✅ Discectomy – This involves removing a part of the herniated disc pressing on the sciatic nerve. It’s commonly performed when a slipped disc is the main cause of pain. 💿⚡
💡 How to Choose the Right Surgery?
The decision depends on the underlying condition:
🔹 If your pain is due to a herniated disc, a discectomy is often preferred.
🔹 If spinal narrowing or bone overgrowth is compressing the nerves, a laminectomy is recommended.
⚠️ Consult a spine specialist to determine the best approach for you. Both surgeries can significantly reduce pain and restore mobility when done at the right time! 💙👨‍⚕️
