Best Cervical Laminectomy Neurosurgeon in Guwahati
What is Cervical Laminectomy
A Cervical Laminectomy is a surgical procedure that is performed on the neck portion of the spine, known as the cervical spine. This surgery is done to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves caused by conditions such as spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or bone spurs.
The cervical spine is made up of small bones called vertebrae. Each vertebra has a part called the lamina, which forms a protective roof over the spinal cord. When this area becomes tight or narrow due to injury, aging, or disease, it can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the neck, shoulders, arms, and hands.
During a cervical laminectomy, Dr. Naba J. Borah carefully removes the lamina to create more space for the spinal cord and nerves. This helps to reduce pressure and relieve symptoms.
Who Needs Cervical Laminectomy?
You might need a cervical laminectomy if you experience:
Severe neck pain that doesn’t improve with medicine or therapy
Weakness or numbness in your arms or hands
Difficulty walking or balancing
Loss of bladder or bowel control (in rare cases)
Symptoms caused by spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or bone spurs
Dr. Naba J. Borah will evaluate your symptoms and imaging tests like MRI or CT scans to determine if this surgery is right for you.
Benefits of Cervical Laminectomy
Relieves Pressure: Removes bone pressing on nerves or spinal cord
Reduces Pain: Helps ease neck and arm pain caused by nerve compression
Improves Function: Restores strength and coordination in arms and hands
Prevents Further Damage: Stops worsening of nerve problems
What to Expect During Surgery?
Cervical laminectomy is usually done under general anesthesia. Dr. Naba J. Borah will make a small incision in the back of your neck to access the spine. The lamina is carefully removed to free the nerves and spinal cord. Sometimes, additional procedures like spinal fusion may be needed to keep the spine stable.
The surgery typically takes a few hours, and most patients stay in the hospital for 1 to 3 days.
Recovery After Cervical Laminectomy
Patients may feel soreness or stiffness in the neck after surgery.
Physical therapy is often recommended to regain strength and flexibility.
Most people return to normal activities within a few weeks to months, depending on their condition.
It is important to follow Dr. Borah’s instructions for a safe recovery.
