Endoscopic Laminectomy in Reno

Laminectomy is a decompression procedure that targets any part of the spine, named for the lamina—the back part of the vertebrae that covers the spinal cord. Dr. Sina Rajamand performs this surgery at Saint Mary’s Brain and Spine Surgery in Reno, NV, to alleviate pain and other symptoms by removing the lamina.

This procedure is indicated when the spinal cord or nerve branches are compressed and additional space in the spinal canal is needed. Compression can result from a damaged vertebral disc, spinal stenosis, bone spurs, tumors, or trauma. When conservative treatments fail to relieve pain or restore mobility, a laminectomy may be recommended to provide effective decompression.

Minimally-Invasive Spine Surgery Near Reno, NV

An endoscopic laminectomy is a minimally-invasive neurosurgical procedure expertly performed by Dr. Sina Rajamand at Saint Mary’s Brain and Spine Surgery in Reno. This advanced technique uses fewer and smaller incisions along with state-of-the-art surgical tools and cameras, which project the surgical field onto a large screen. This approach reduces the risks of infection and damage to surrounding tissues, promoting a faster recovery.

During the procedure, Dr. Rajamand makes a small incision in the back at the affected area to remove the lamina. If necessary, he can also use tiny instruments to remove bone spurs, damaged disc fragments, tumors, or other objects pressing on the spine and nerves. Often combined with other procedures, such as spinal fusion, an endoscopic laminectomy helps to restore stability by removing part of the vertebrae.

Dr. Rajamand’s expertise in endoscopic spine decompression allows for a quick recovery, with most patients returning home the same day and resuming normal activities within days.
