Brilliant. As an aspiring spine surgeon it is good to see representation in the media.

I really enjoyed seeing you drill on the plastic spine. Interesting to see that process up close

Nicely explained. Loved this !

Brilliant! Thank you Dr Webb!

An excellent overview explaining the procedure that lies ahead of me. Thanks.

Best video I've seen. Very well described and illustrated

You are amazing Dr.Webb! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us❤️

Just had a lamineotmy glad i watched this after the surergy! Super informative and helps explain why im soo sore. Thanks Doctor! !

Dear Antonio, your videos are fantastic!! Have a good day!!!👍🏻

Awesome! Thanks for that demonstration 👍🏾

Thank you Dr. Webb I had a Hemi-Laminectomy and micro disc with some local spur gardening in 1989 by an amazing surgeon. He was a very highly skilled, Head of Neurosurgery and as I recall at the time I thought his fingers were like sausages that could be a challenge for him to perform. techniques Well not a problem, he did an excellent and I am doing okay today with some lumbar back aching but doing fine. I was in hospital for 3 days and flat on my back for about 4 weeks. In contrast, my sister had a similar procedure recently and was in hospital overnight and up and about the next day starting PT in a just few days. MIS access and other new techniques are impressive Thank you for sharing. God bless.

Outstanding video!

Awesome presentation, thank you

Thank you for your sacrifice 🙏

Your very fine explanations with 3D images and doing surgery on the model of the back make the best video i've ever seen. Congratulation 👍👏

Great breakdown!

Awesome video

Thank you Doc! I'm looking at this procedure to relieve my nerve pain and weakness in my right leg.

Doc this is amazing... I need to see you soon! Coming from corpus and i found out you are in my network for insurance! Looking forward to seeing you soon.. wish it was under different circumstances 😅

I had a laminectomy, it's very interesting to see exactly what was done.

thank you Doctor , please can you make a video about the laminectomy procedure ?

I’m having this procedure in ten days!! This will be my fourth surgery since 2019. Of course, my three prior surgeries were on different areas of my body. I’m a tad nervous to have spine surgery. But more than anything, I’m looking forward to the relief I will get post-op. I appreciate the well informed video!

Thanks for the video it was very helpful, do you also do ultrasonic surgery or shed any light on this type of surgery? I will probably need surgery for spinal stenosis, a disk bulge, and arthritis all in my lower 4 and 5

Are you able to do a video about ankylosing spondylitis and what it is, what it does and what treatment options there are please? I have ankylosing spondylitis and I’m not very sure as to what it is and what it’s long term effects are and what sort of treatment options there are, I’m currently on imraldi adalinmumab anti tnf injections Would really appreciate it All the best

Amazing. Doctor can someone with osteoporosis still get this surgery?

I have had 2 lower back surgeries the first in 2005 due to a herniated disc at L4 - L5, had to go back in 2015 because I was in a lot of pain, they removed the screw and rods at L4 - L5 and made a cage at L5 - S1. In 2019 I had surgery on my neck because of spinal stenosis at C2 - C4. Now I have to have more surgery under that surgery site. I’m only 50 years old and will have had 4 spinal surgeries. The other 3 were preformed but Orthopedic surgeons and my pain doctor is sending me to a neurosurgeon.

any chance of a vid on pectus excavatum and the surgeries done for those? (ik its not related to spine but, science)

Those models aren't cheap!

I have DJD as well as stenosis. If only I was going to be here in San Antonio for more than a few weeks…

Thanks.

JUST HAD IT DONE ON THE 17TH BUT AS AN EMERGENCY SURGERY DEFINITELY HAD A GOOD DOCTORS WITH ME THAT DAY SO I HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL FOR YOU

Thank you very good understanding I had a lumbar laminectomy I lost the feeling in my big toe okay but I get paid on my right side I went back to the doctor he really doesn't know😮

After surgery any problem to do regular works like hard work. Only we have to lite work

Now that the lamina is gone you’re missing that structure for stability so longterm what’s the patients outlook after that?

I'm dealing with cervicale stenosis C4/C5/C6 since 2019 and already had multiple infiltrations to relieve the pain, if I decide to get surgery what would be the correct procedure and how long would recovery be Thx in advance

If someone came to you with stenosis and bastrups would a laminectomy be appropriate?

I need your help I have spinal stenosis and had neck surgery and it has been hell on me and still having neck pain and pain in shoulder arms and between my shoulder blades and had physical therapy and no resolve help me please

Is there any negative effects that come from the removal of the spinous process? More specifically related to the muscles that attach to it.

@ron2368

I would think mostly small intervertebral muscles that affect bone-to-bone stability.

My mom, who is in her mid-70s, has spinal stenosis that has worsened over the past four years. She has pain and tightness in her buttocks and hips and her feet go numb very quickly when she stands making it hard for her to do much of anything. She's nervous to have surgery as most people are but I'm hoping she'll consider this before it's too late. She has a neurosurgeon she's been talking with for two years and he has excellent reviews but he did say the surgery won't help the numbness in her feet. I'm wondering if that's true, though, since it's seems like opening up the space for the nerves would help that numbness go away, even if only by some percentage.

Maybe I'm just a dumb layman --- but the Rongeur seems like a barbaric crude surgical tool? Why not some kind of tiny powered saw for cutting away the lamina bone?

Does removing the spinous and lamina affect joint stability of that vertebra? Over a several year period, do you see any repair or degenerative changes to the bone structure around the laminectomy? thanks

You sure do.

During an Laminectomy surgery do patients need catheter? And how long after surgery can you walk.

I'd like to know the cons of this treatment, like how weakened is the spine and can the disk now move even more out of place etc

I'd be interested in this topic as well. I had a Laminectomy on the right side (L4/L5) back in 2016 due to a synovial cyst. This year, I was diagnosed with L4/L5 Spinal Stenosis. My surgeon recommended a Laminectomy on the left side, again in the L4/L5 region. I'm hesitant to have the surgery due to the fear of further weakening my spine. It would be great if you could speak to the risks of this procedure.

I had back surgery in March of 2011. I'm not sure what they called it. They took the disc's out between S1 and L5 and between L5 and L4. Put rods, spacers, screws and bone from my hip in to encase everything.

@emmaleigh658

a spinal fusion a believe is what youre describing. my spine is fused at l5-s1,they removed the disc, used bone from my hip and then theres some hardware keeping it together

Scary stuff, I had cervical laminoplasty with instrumentation

I recently had a laminectomy L2-L4. The surgeon assured me before that it would NOT create instability in the back. But I don't see how that promise is possible if he's removing one or more spinous processes - in addition to some of the lamina. This was not explained well.

I believe he's like 6'7

But doesnt the tradional laminectomy destabilize the lower spine because of the total bone removal ? Also , wont more bone, and scar tissue try to regrow in that area causing the process all over again within a short time ? Don't get me wrong , if you're losing feeling, and strength in your legs you have to do something .... But Pain relief in that area isn't always what is expected..... I would certainly try ANY non or minimally invasive treatment before cutting bone away ! And wouldnt the spinal cord be less protected in that area ?

why use such a dangerous instrument when there is a safer alternative tool.......that tool is the ultrasonic bone scalple......

Hello sir how are you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

The drill sounds similar to what a dentist would use.

Note to self : stick to medium heavy with my squats and deadlifts.... lulz

I would've worn a mask, with all that plastic/resin dust! Be safe, Doc.

Is this a joke

this looks terrible. Jesus!!

LOL! The FUNNY thing is that BOTH methods are really good for NOTHING but making MONEY for the surgeon! Don't believe me? Ask them for a money BACK if NOT satisfied guarantee and see what kind of response you get.
