The lamina roofs in the spine canal contain the nerves which go to your legs. Throughout a spinal decompression, this bone is removed, thus “de-roofing” the neural canal on one side. Overgrown or irregular ligament and bone spurs are removed to further alleviate the pressure on the nerves. Spinal decompression varies from laminectomy as it is carried out on one side just at a time and always preserves the midline back structures.
