A back surgery that fails to provide pain relief, spinal stenosis, and various other reasons may contribute to chronic back pain. Doctors may then recommend a permanent spinal cord stimulator (SCS) with laminectomy. It is a combined procedure of neurostimulation and laminectomy. In neurostimulators, small electrodes are placed near the spinal cord to mask the pain signal, thus, reducing pain. On the other hand, laminectomy is a procedure of removing a part of the lamina (part of the vertebra). It helps in releasing the pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Thus, SCS implantation with laminectomy is a combination process that aims at relieving chronic back pain.

Is this your first time with pain management treatment? You may have various questions regarding the procedure. Here we have answered a few of these:
A neurostimulator, as the name may suggest, is a device that stimulates the pain signal sent to the brain. These are small electrodes placed near the spinal cord. The purpose of the electrodes is to mask the pain signals that reach the brain so as to reduce the pain.
Laminectomy is a minimally invasive procedure. The aim of the surgery is to remove a part of the lamina that is causing excessive pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. By removing the lamina, the spinal cord can breathe and space is created for nerves to relax. Thus, patients may experience relief from chronic pain.
People who do not find relief in pain through physiotherapy or medications can be recommended for this surgery. The neurostimulator may be placed without laminectomy. However, patients who have chronic back pain and a pressurized spinal cord may be suggested combination surgery of neurostimulator placement with laminectomy surgery.
In this surgery, local anesthesia is given to the patient prior to providing a steroid injection. Hence, it reduces the pain during the process.
