Lumbar Laminectomy (1-2 Level)
MOR Package Price: $10,000
Condition: Arthritis is the most common cause of spinal stenosis; the narrowing of the space for the spinal cord or nerve branches. As the spine degenerates over time, it can lead to the formation of bone spurs. The bone spurs press on the spinal cord or the nerve roots, often causing pain.
Procedure: Lumbar laminectomy, also called lumbar decompression surgery, involves removing large arthritic bone spurs that are compressing nerves. This procedure is typically performed as outpatient surgery.
