A laminectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing some or part of the lamina, which is the vertebral bone. The procedure relieves the pressure the lamina puts on the nerves or spinal cord. This is considered spinal decompression surgery.
While it is a straightforward procedure, it can have a wealth of complications, such as infection, bleeding, or even increased pain. Motorcycle accident laminectomy lawyers in Los Angeles take these complications into account when suing for damages.
