A laminectomy is one of the most common spinal surgeries. In a laminectomy, a surgeon removes a piece of bone in your back called a lamina or ligament. After surgery, pressure is relieved on the spinal nerves, relieving pain and weakness in that area.

The average success rate for spinal fusion depends on the condition it is being used to treat, but it ranges from 70 to 90% in most cases.

The risks of spinal surgery are minimal. However, the possibilities do exist and could include:

• Infection
• Neurological deficit
• Reactions to drugs or anaesthesia
• Blood clots in the lungs or legs
• Nerve damage.
• Heart attack

The incidence of risk depends on the patient’s condition and the type of surgery performed.
