EXTENDED LUMBAR LAMINECTOMY: A SAFE AND SWIFT TECHNIQUE
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2016, Vol 27, Issue 2
Abstract
Even though spinal surgeons are very familiar lumbar laminectomy, prolongation of surgical time increases the risk of complications. The shift towards minimally invasive and shorter operation time pushes surgeons in search of new methods. Thus arises the need for safer maneuvers and techniques. The goal of method employed within this paper is to expand the lumbar canal dorsally by removing the spinous processes, laminae, ligamentum flavum, and bony hypertrophy that are contributing to the canal stenosis. This technique is hasty in technical manners and also flexible. With proper diagnosis and selection of patients, careful appliance of this technique will allow for safe, swift and effective approach to the management of lumbar canal stenosis.
