The technique that is still widely used in canal stenosis surgery is lumbar laminectomy, which is based on the principle of widening the spinal canal by removing the bones called lamina behind the vertebrae. However, since a large amount of bone is removed in these surgeries, lumbar lumbar surgery is usually needed in the same session to prevent lumbar lumbar stenosis.
With the closed canal narrowing surgery (miccrolumbar laminectomy) that has started to be applied in recent years, this need has decreased considerably. Microlumbar laminectomy is a much less traumatic technique for the patient than the commonly applied lumbar laminectomy method. In this method, a smaller skin incision is made compared to the classical method, less muscle is cut, only one side of the lamina is removed, and the spinal canal is widened by shaving only the front (ventral) side of the lamina of the other side. Thus, very little damage is caused to the patient's anatomical structure, the patient's post-operative recovery period is much shorter, and the risks that threaten the spine health in later life are reduced. Closed canal narrowing surgery is performed under general anesthesia and the hospital stay is two days.
