Cervical Laminectomy – Korea

Cervical Laminectomy is a surgical treatment of spinal stenosis, a condition in which compression of spinal cord occurs.  It is done to relieve pain in the cervical region that has not been helped by non-surgical conservative treatments. It is often an elective procedure rather than an emergency surgery.
