Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Hi Gang. Happy New Year to All. I am confused : I heard that laminectomy's to remove stenosis , even when done up and down the entire back DOES NOT leave a person's spine unstable/at risk, therefore, they would not need a fusion? My sister (also a lp) had 2 laminectomy's done in MO, and she did not have a fusion, and her surgeon told her that her spine would be stable afterward and she didn't need one. So my question is, for those of you who had fusions: why were they necessary? Also, how many lp's on here had laminectomy's ? What were your outcomes? Were you left unable to walk? My back is ok for now, but as I get older, I am fearing I will also need a laminectomy. Thanks. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
