The surgery involves removal of all or part of the lamina (posterior part of the vertebra) to provide more space for the compressed spinal cord and/or nerve roots. Lumbar laminectomy/decompression – Also called open decompression, this procedure treats central spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) in the lower back.minimally invasive lumbar fusion – Our surgeons are adept at both traditional and minimally-invasive procedures that fuse vertebrae in order to provide decompression in the lower back. Direct lateral interbody fusion (DLIF) – Approached from the side of the body, this procedure allows for surgeons to fuse vertebrae to provide decompression.Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) – Approached through the front of the body, this procedure fuses vertebrae in the lower back to provide decompression.Lumbar disc replacement – A damaged disc in the lower back region of the spine is removed replaced with a prosthetic disc in order to provide decompression and retain maximum joint function.Cervical laminoplasty – A surgical procedure that reshapes or repositions bone in order to relieve stress on the spinal nerves in the cervical section of the spine.The DTRAX system implant helps alleviate neck and arm pain. This can reduce decompression but restricts joint function. Occurs when two or more vertebrae in the neck are fused to allow them to become a solid bone.
