Open laminectomy can cause instability of the lumbar spine, and there can be recurrent disc prolapse at the same level or adjacent levels. We would advise a plain MRI lumbar spine to see the status of the disc and nerves. The surgery should be done as endoscopic/minimally invasive spine surgery, which does NOT cut the muscles and hence does not produce instability. If you're concerned about the radiating pain in the leg, it's important to consult with a neurosurgeon or spine specialist. To book an appointment, visit the Home Screen, click on 'Doctor Consultation' or ‘Second Opinion’ under 'Services,' and provide your details. Our panel of medical experts can offer a proper diagnosis and recommend suitable treatment options if necessary. Your health and well-being are our priority.
