Laminectomy With Decompression Of Nerve Roots

Long-term follow-up observations were recorded in 52 patients with spondylolisthesis who were treated by excision of the loose lamina with decompression of the nerve roots without spinal fusion.

CPT 63005 is generally used for removal of the lamina to provide central decompression of the spinal cord. CPT 63047 involves not only removal of lamina for central decompression but also lateral recess decompression in the form of a facetectomy (e.g., medial, partial) and/or foraminotomy for nerve root decompression .

Laminectomy is a relatively safe procedure, with a low complication rate. Related-technique complications are associated with the underlying structures covered by the laminae, being the dural sac tear and nerve roots injury the most commons. These complications occur more often in elderly patients due to the fragility of the dural sac.
