What is Endoscopic Lumbar Laminotomy? | Laminectomy

[@greg9069]

Depends on if your nerve roots are compressed or if the cauda equina is compressed. The cauda is the big sack of nerves that runs through the middle like a large rope… when that is compressed it’s much more complicated. Happened to me, and I’ve been in pain for 2 years now post op. The operation saved me from being in a wheel chair. But the damage the surgery does to your back, and the likelihood you will still have severe leg pain is typically underplayed, it’s very likely you have serious pain post op for a long time.

[@speedingAtI94]

do you mean you get new pain from the damages caused by the surgery? Is your back less stable from the surgery?

[@greg9069]

⁠@@speedingAtI94 yea I never had back pain before the surgery, and I was still strong as an ox.. after the surgery I couldn’t bend or pick anything up.. I’m 6’5 so everything on the floor is extremely hard to get to.. on top of that, the scar tissue made the nerve become compressed again so I have tightness and pain In my legs that can’t be stretched or rehabbed… I personally think it’s less stable because I just can’t do most things, it’s super painful in the incision area, and feels like my torso is going to fall straight through the floor when I stand… constantly angry and feeling helpless. Life sucks. 😊

@@greg9069 Thank you for the reply and I hope you find relief soon. It seems like every option either doesn't work long term or has serious side effect. What is important to me is to avoid getting worse.

These animations are fantastic! I just had surgery for spinal stenosis. It wasn’t done endoscopic though. They used a kerison tool which from what I understand nibbles away the parts they want to remove. They did a laminotomy at L3-L4 and L4-L5.

Did it help you?

[@warrenscorner]

@@bamafan62 I had this done twice. The first one in 2019 was great. In a couple of weeks I was working in my workshop. They had to repeat the surgery last July. I haven’t recovered so well from this one. Seems that I’m having a lot of inflammation. They gave me prednisone which made me feel a lot better. Once I can get this inflammation controlled I’m sure I’ll be good to go.

[@bamafan62]

@@warrenscorner I hope it gets better for you, thank you for letting me know. I also have L3 and L4 problems. I’m in so much pain right now, 2 nerve blocks and it did nothing

[@warrenscorner]

@@bamafan62 that sucks! I tried chiropractor, acupuncture, pt, nothing worked! Whenever I see someone walking hunched over I know exactly what they’re going through. Maybe surgery is the only thing that might work for you. Best of luck.

2 months post and started physical therapy. Been pushing myself. I still have my days and still can’t sleep on my stomach right now but everything else has been better. Taking it one day at a time 😅

[@AtlanticSpineCenter]

You got this!

[@davidamorim3093]

Feeling any better ?

[@CLhealthworld]

I had this procedure done. And Im still suffering severely. I am still seeking further images and further surgeries and pain treatments needed, don’t let Dr John Paul Kleimeyer do any spine work for you. I let him do my surgery and I still seeking further treatments. And don’t let Stanford work on your spine.

Thank You very much!

Why can't they go under the vertebrae without extracting any bone tissue???? The lost portion of the bone might lead to spondylolisis and that might lead to spondylolisthesis… which is AWFUL!!!!

[@Joyinmyheart66]

They can, it’s done at Deuk Spine Institute in Brevard County Florida

[@juneysummers5342]

@@Joyinmyheart66 What surgical procedure can they do to not cut out bone from your spine? Do you know if it's effective or not? Thanks

[@Joyinmyheart66]

@@juneysummers5342 look up Deuk Spine Institute in Brevard County Florida. I had two lower disc herniations repaired. Non invasive. Mayfield Spine in Cincinnati has non invasive procedures also. Both have info on KZbin
