If surgery is required to treat spinal stenosis, minimally invasive spine surgery may be an option. Swift Institute Spine Neurosurgery avoids traditional open laminectomies which are far too destructive to surrounding tissues and may lead to potential instability.

A unilateral decompressive laminectomy is carried out on the side of the overgrowth. The lamina above and below the narrowing may be removed partially or completely.
