Spinal Decompression Surgery
Spinal Decompression Surgery encompasses various neurosurgical procedures designed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve branches. This pressure may result from bone spurs, bulging or collapsed discs, arthritic joints, or other conditions that constrict the spinal space or foramen. At Saint Mary’s Brain and Spine Surgery in Reno, Dr. Sina Rajamand provides several advanced spinal decompression options.
Conditions causing compression can lead to symptoms such as direct pain, radiating pain, tingling, weakness in the extremities, unsteadiness, and loss of bodily functions. Dr. Rajamand is skilled in addressing these issues through targeted decompression techniques to restore function and alleviate discomfort.
Laminotomy, Foraminotomy, Discectomy and Corpectomy Neurosurgery Near Reno
Dr. Sina Rajamand performs a range of spinal decompression procedures at Saint Mary’s Brain and Spine Surgery in Reno to address various spinal issues. Some of the common surgeries include:
- Laminotomy: Removal of the lamina, the back part of a vertebra.
- Foraminotomy: Removal of bone or other tissue from the foramen (nerve openings).
- Discectomy: Removal of a portion of a spinal disc.
- Corpectomy: Removal of an entire vertebra, including adjacent discs.
- Osteophyte Removal: Removal of bony growths or bone spurs.
These decompression procedures are often combined with spinal fusion to provide added stability and strength to the spine by joining two vertebrae with surgical hardware.
