Spinal stenosis
The term spinal stenosis refers to a narrowing of the spinal canal, the area where the spinal cord and nerve roots run. When severe, spinal stenosis can cause significant pain in the legs and difficulty walking over prolonged periods. Many treatment options currently exist, and may be discussed with your surgeon. |

Laminectomies and spinal fusions
Spinal operations are performed to decompress neural structures to relieve pain and provide the opportunity for neurological recovery. At times, fusions are performed to stabilize spinal segments and improve neurologic function. These procedures can be peformed microscopically, endoscopically, or through standard, open approaches. |
