Successful Spine surgery at We Care India partner hospital allows Henry Stolz to live a normal life despite a microendoscopic Decompression. We Care india helped Henry find best super specialised surgeon for his procedure.
Traditional decompression surgical options for spondylosis include:
Facetectomy: There are joints in your spine are called facet joints; they help stabilize your spine. However, facet joints can put pressure on a nerve. Ectomy means "removal of." So a facetectomy involves removing the facet joint to reduce that pressure.
Foraminotomy: If part of the disc or a bone spur (osteophyte) is pressing on a nerve as it leaves the vertebra (through an exit called the foramen), a foraminotomy may be done. Otomy means "to make an opening." So a foraminotomy is making the opening of the foramen larger, so the nerve can exit without being compressed.
Laminectomy: At the back of each vertebra, you have a bony plate that protects your spinal canal and spinal cord; it's called the lamina. It may be pressing on your spinal cord, so the surgeon may make more room for the cord by removing all or part of the lamina.
Laminotomy: Similar to the foraminotomy, a laminotomy makes a larger opening, this time in your bony plate protecting your spinal canal and spinal cord (the lamina). The lamina may be pressing on a nerve structure, so the surgeon may make more room for the nerves using a laminotomy.

Recovery from Spondylosis Surgery
It will take your body awhile to recover from surgery for spondylosis; you won't feel better right away. If you've had a fusion, it will take some time (several months or longer) for the fusion to heal properly, and in the meantime, you could have pain in the area where you had surgery. Your incisions should heal in 7-14 days.
What you can and can't do after surgery depends on your particular case, and your surgeon will give detailed instructions about your recovery period. Above all, stick to your recovery plan and don't try to rush it. You don't want to overstress your spine as it heals. If you have any problems—such as fever, increased pain, or infection—report those to your doctor right away.
