Hemilaminectomy is a surgical procedure conducted to relieve a pinched nerve inside the spine. The vertebral bones have a bony lamina at the base. Due to age-related degeneration or other medical conditions, the lamina may get damaged and pinch onto the nerve causing neurological symptoms. Hemilaminectomy is a minimally invasive procedure where the surgeon removes only a part of the bone to provide adequate space for the nerve to pass through.
