Description

A cervical laminectomy involves the removal of the back portion of a vertebra in your neck to create more room within the spinal canal.||| Laminectomy is surgery that creates space by removing the lamina — the back part of a vertebra that covers your spinal canal. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a type of neck surgery that involves removing a damaged disc to relieve spinal cord or nerve root pressure and alleviate corresponding pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling.||| Spinal fusion is surgery to join two or more vertebrae into one single structure. The goal is to stop movement between the two bones and prevent back pain. Once they're fused, they no longer move like they used to. This keeps you from stretching nearby nerves, ligaments, and muscles that may have caused discomfort.
