Laminectomy, Rachiotomy

A laminectomy is a surgical procedure in which part of a vertebral arch is removed. It is used to access the spinal cord or other spinal structures.

A rachiotomy is an operation in which an incision is made into the vertebral body or intervertebral disc. It is performed to relieve pain or relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots.

Both procedures can be performed to treat a variety of conditions such as tumors, spinal injuries, herniated discs, and other conditions.

Before performing any of these procedures, it is necessary to carefully evaluate the patient and determine the optimal time for surgery.



Laminectomy (Laminectomia) is a surgical operation in which the vertebral arch is dissected. This is done to provide access to the spinal cord, which is located in the spinal canal formed by the arch and body of the vertebra. The surgeon may remove the arch of one or more vertebrae to allow easier access to the affected area. Laminectomy is performed for tumors, as well as for the treatment of spinal injuries, for example, a prolapsed intervertebral disc. During surgery, the surgeon removes the diseased disc or relieves pressure on the spinal nerve to restore normal spinal function.



A laminectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the arches in the affected vertebrae. To do this, a laminectomy of the vertebra is performed: the surgeon dissects the posterior longitudinal ligament, decompresses and performs arthrodesis of spinal segments, as well as plastic surgery of the ligament using a thread made of titanium and nylon or another method that helps eliminate problems. A sequential reduction operation of the entire vertebroplasty or part of the arch of the affected disc/discs between the body and the arch may also be performed. Both processes significantly alleviate the patient's condition. Rahiocranil laminectomy is often performed through the radicular crown - simplification and duration of the operation. Laminectomy is very rarely used for stenosis of the spinal canal or vertebral artery with an aneurysm. If the cause of stenosis is a violation of the vascularization of the spinal cord or spasm of the vertebral vein, laminoforaminal decompensation is performed with dissection of the Vertigo nerve under the arch of the affected vertebrae - in other words, transection of the cerebrospinal fluid system of the spinal nerves. This is one of the ways to eliminate compression of the nerves and the most common method of eliminating sciatica, which can be caused by osteochondrosis. Union healing is faster than laminectomy surgery. Mainly used for damage to the posterior branches of the sacral spinal nerves or polysegmental compression lesions of the lumbosacral part of the spinal cord. There is also practice after discoporostolisis. How to replace a disc is to remove the damaged part and install artificial implants (for example, synthetic allotrans
