It’s surgery on lumbar vertebrae 4 and 5. To relive compressed nerves. Mine was for degenerative disc problems.
Surgical Decompression (Laminectomy/Discectomy)
Procedure: An incision is made in the lower back, muscles are moved, and parts of the bone (lamina) or disc material are removed to free the trapped nerves.
Goal: Increase space around the nerves, improving function and reducing symptoms.
