A laminectomy is a type of decompression surgery that relieves pressure on the spinal cord and exiting nerves by enlarging the spinal canal. Lamina along with the spinous process are located in the back portion of each vertebra. During this procedure the lamina is removed along with a portion of the enlarged facet joints and thickened ligaments overlying the spinal cord and nerves.

I want to take this time to thank dr. Kim he is the best I had surgery done on December 27th 2019 and I am at home recovering at this time.originally I was scheduled for surgery on my neck on October 25th 2019 but I was very scared because of the seriousness of the surgery so I cancelled the surgery. Dr.kim actually call me twice at home to check on me what doctor does that and that made a big difference in my life therefore allowing me to move forward with the surgery on the 27th of December. this man this doctor is so genuine I will highly recommend him if you ever need any type of neurology
