Postlaminectomy kyphosis - what does this mean

Postlaminectomy kyphosis is a condition caused by abnormal curvature of the spine that develops after a laminectomy (surgical removal of a vertebral lamina) has been performed. it is most commonly caused by inadequate stabilisation of the spine after the laminectomy, resulting in an imbalance of the spine and subsequent deformity.

What happens during the disease - postlaminectomy kyphosis

Postlaminectomy kyphosis is a condition that develops after laminectomy surgery, where the vertebrae become abnormally curved due to a collapse of the spinal canal. this condition is caused by a weakening of the spinal column, due to the removal of the lamina, which is a part of the vertebral arch that helps to provide stability and support. as a result, the spinal column becomes unstable and unable to bear the weight of the body, leading to an excessive curvature of the spine. other contributing factors may include poor post-operative care, inadequate rehabilitation, or a pre-existing condition such as osteoporosis.

Postlaminectomy kyphosis - Prevention

Postlaminectomy kyphosis can be prevented by taking proper precautions during and after laminectomy surgery, such as avoiding large incisions, using the correct instruments and techniques, and ensuring adequate postoperative rehabilitation. additionally, maintaining good posture and avoiding activities that can cause excessive strain on the spine can help reduce the risk of developing postlaminectomy kyphosis.
