LAMINECTOMY - SURGERY FOR SPINAL STENOSIS

[@PdawgNizzle]

I had a L3 laminectomy and L4/L5 discectomy back in August and have had relief since then. It was a great decision.

[@MedTalkSG]

great

[@LawalOlumideRidwanulai]

How much did you spend for the surgery ?

[@PdawgNizzle]

@@LawalOlumideRidwanulai between pre-op, actual surgery and recovery it was 6-7 hrs before I got into my room. But when I was awake enough in my room first thing that must happen is you must use the bathroom. They need to make sure you can pass urine. Then the nurses got me walking around.

[@PdawgNizzle]

@@LawalOlumideRidwanulai When the bills came in the hospital stay was about $15,000, the surgeon was about $5,000, the anesthesiologist as about $3,000. There were a few more too. I have insurance and thank goodness I had met my insurance deductible by that time because I did not have to pay a single penny.

[@mayoushma2533]

I a laminectomy in 2010 at LSI in Tampa, FL. After the surgery, the surgeon came into the recovery room after I woke up and was telling me that my body was jumping, moving around a lot and that he had to get after his aides and got after the anesthesiologist because of it. Can anyone tell me what would cause this and if this could be a reason that I had failed back syndrome? Thank you.

[@joshloose1078]

I had a laminectomy and i still have the same pain afterwards. I had a emg and i have damage to my L5 sciatic nerve. Exercise, physical therapy only makes me hurt more. Its been 6 months since my surgery and its the same.

Can you get spinal or Local Anesthesia? Instead of General? Scared to be put under would rather be up.

What happens in the section where the bone is removed, if you get hit in the back would that have risk of hitting the nerves?

So you do not do endoscopy minimally invasive surgery? You still cut down the back and cut out the lamina?

That is correct
