Dr. Peter Derman provides an indepth explanation of spinal decompression surgery. This is a common term for a variety of surgical procedures which offer relief for patients suffering from spinal stenosis. Spinal stenosis is a pressure on the nerve in the canal the nerves pass through. This pressure can be caused by a variety of conditions, such as: a herniated disc, bone spurs, overgrown soft tissues from arthritis, as well as trauma, and spine tumors.

Many of the symptoms that occur from spinal stenosis are pain, numbness, tingling, and/or weakness in the arms or legs. If these symptoms are causing issues in your daily life, you should seek the expertise of a spine surgeon to review your condition and help you find the right treatment options for you.

There are a variety of treatment options that are considered a decompression surgery. These surgical options include: a laminectomy, a discectomy or microdiscectomy, tubular retractor surgery and ultra minimally invasive spine surgery, also known as endoscopic spine surgery.
In some cases, a patient may need an additional surgery to stabilize the spine to alleviate the pressure and properly set the spine.
