In cases of spinal canal narrowing, it is actually necessary to widen the canal. The spinal cord is somehow compressed and the structures that compress it, the small joints in the back that you call facet or the facet capsule or the ligamentum flavum between the vertebrae provide this. What can you do, in fact the most commonly performed procedure in the world is a procedure called laminectomy. What is laminectomy? Laminectomy is the removal of those bones in this area. When these are removed, you also remove the ligaments in between, naturally your spinal cord relaxes at that level. This is the most commonly performed procedure in the world, but today we can do this with the help of a microscope. You enter with a microscope, make a small incision, if you have pain at a single level, you bring the microscope closer to that area and magnify it about 10 times, you see the nerves and tissues there much more clearly and you can widen the canal by cleaning the ligaments in that area, the protrusions in the joints that have formed and grown in the bone. 00:00 Intro 00:05 Canal Stenosis Surgery 02:03 Screw Canal Stenosis Surgery 03:18 Canal Stenosis Surgery Risks 05:08 How Long Does Canal Stenosis Surgery Take?
