Disc disease14
Degenerative disc disease ( DDD ) is a medical condition in which there are anatomic changes and a loss of function of varying degrees of one or more intervertebral discs of the spine of sufficient magnitude as to cause symptoms. (siddhaspirituality.com)
Degenerative disc disease can result in the lower back or upper neck pain. (siddhaspirituality.com)
Nevertheless, degenerative disc disease is one of the most common sources of back pain and affects approximately 30 million people every year. (siddhaspirituality.com)
With symptomatic degenerative disc disease, the pain can vary depending on the location of the affected disc. (siddhaspirituality.com)
Degenerative disc disease can lead to a chronic debilitating condition and can have a serious negative impact on a person's quality of life. (siddhaspirituality.com)
Because degenerative disc disease is largely due to natural daily stresses, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists has suggested it is not truly a "disease" process. (siddhaspirituality.com)
The anatomy and physiology of the intervertebral disc were reviewed in reference to changes occurring with age that contribute to degenerative disc disease. (cdc.gov)

Johns Hopkins Medicine says that a laminectomy is a surgical procedure that relieves pressure on spinal nerves by removing a portion of the lamina , the bony arch covering the spinal canal. (medicalxpress.com)
Lamina8
Laminectomy is the removal of the entire bony lamina, a portion of the enlarged facet joints, and the thickened ligaments overlying the spinal cord and nerves. (mayfieldclinic.com)
A laminectomy is a surgery that eliminates a part of a vertebra called the lamina, which is the top of the spinal trench. (alliedacademies.org)
Albeit the exacting importance of laminectomy is 'extraction of the lamina', a customary laminectomy in neurosurgery and muscular health includes extraction of the supraspinous tendon and some or the entirety of the spinous cycle. (alliedacademies.org)
A laminectomy is likewise the name of a spinal activity that customarily incorporates the expulsion of one or both lamina, as well as other back supporting designs of the vertebral segment, including tendons and extra bone. (alliedacademies.org)
In the neck, there are seven levels of lamina, and procedures involving disruption of these bones in the spine in this region of the cervical spine are referred to generically as a cervical laminectomy. (ceufast.com)
In a laminectomy, the lamina, or back portion of the spine, is removed to give the nerves more room and reduce inflammation. (nyspine.com)
Stenosis10
Although the disorder often results from acquired degenerative changes ( spondylosis ), spinal stenosis may also be congenital in nature (see Etiology). (medscape.com)
Congenital stenosis may predispose an individual with mild degenerative changes to become symptomatic earlier in life. (medscape.com)
Unfortunately, the symptoms may recur as the degenerative aging process that produces stenosis continues. (mayfieldclinic.com)

Background: To overcome several disadvantages of conventional laminectomy for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS), several types of minimally invasive surgery have been developed. (bvsalud.org)
Surgery11
In a laminectomy surgery, a three- to four-inch vertical incision is made along the midline of the neck. (spine-health.com)
Decompression surgery (laminectomy) opens the bony canals through which the spinal cord and nerves pass, creating more space for them to move freely. (mayfieldclinic.com)
Degenerative spine surgery may involve removal or replacement of the spinal discs, surgery to relieve nerve compression, or fusion of the vertebrae to improve spine stability. (srosm.com)
No matter what condition you're suffering with, all reasonable conservative measures will be considered before back surgery laminectomy is prescribed. (downtownpainphysicians.com)
While laminectomy carries potential risks-such as infection or nerve damage-patients should discuss benefits, risks and recovery expectations with their health care provider before deciding on surgery. (medicalxpress.com)
These minimally invasive treatments will be a way to see how your body responds and if degenerative spine surgery is an option for you. (nyspine.com)
Patients with progressive or severe neurologic deficits, intractable pain, conservative treatment failure, or cervical myelopathy may require immediate or later elective surgery (eg, diskectomy, laminectomy). (msdmanuals.com)
Decompressive surgery alone (laminectomy) is not an exclusion criterion. (who.int)
