Cervical laminectomy and fusion is a surgical procedure performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots in the neck, often caused by spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or bone spurs. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the lamina—the bony arch covering the back of the spinal canal—to decompress the nerves. After decompression, the affected vertebrae are stabilized by placing a bone graft and sometimes metal screws and rods, allowing the vertebrae to fuse together over time. This fusion helps maintain spinal stability, prevent abnormal movement, and reduce pain, weakness, or numbness caused by nerve compression.
