Lumbar decompression surgery is a targeted procedure designed to alleviate pressure on compressed nerves in the lower spine (lumbar region), especially when non-surgical treatments have proven insufficient. This surgery addresses symptoms like persistent leg pain and numbness due to nerve compression, treating conditions such as:

• Spinal Stenosis: The narrowing of a section of the spinal column, which exerts pressure on the nerves within.
• Slipped Disc and Sciatica: Occurs when a damaged spinal disc compresses an underlying nerve.
• Spinal Injuries: Such as fractures or tissue swelling that can lead to nerve compression.
• Metastatic Spinal Cord Compression: When cancer from another part of the body, like the lungs, spreads to the spine, pressing on the spinal cord or nerves.

The goal of lumbar decompression surgery is to relieve symptoms, restore function, and enhance the patient’s overall quality of life.
