Lunar laminectomy is a complete removal of lamina, which is use for to decompress the neural elements of the lumbar spine, usually via a posterior approach in the prone position.

Overview

Indications

Lumbar radiculopathy 2° degenerative disc disease from herniated disks, congenital stenosis, neoplasm, and, occasionally, trauma. Lumbar laminectomy is also used to gain access to the spinal canal for dealing with intradural tumors, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and other spinal cord lesions.

Labs and studies

CBC, Coags

Operating room setup

TIVA if neurophysiological monitoring

Patient preparation and premedication

Regional and neuraxial techniques

Intraoperative management

Monitoring and access

Large bore IV access. Potential for large volume blood loss during exposure

Induction and airway management

Standard induction

Avoid long acting paralytic if neurophysiological monitoring. Consider succinylcholine or remifentanil bolus (1.5mg/kg)

Positioning

Prone positioning

Maintenance and surgical considerations

1-2 hour for single level

+0.5-1hr per additional level

TIVA if neurophysiological monitoring (Propofol, Remi, phenylephrine to support BP)

BIS or Massimo to monitor depth of anesthesia if using TIVA

Avoid large volume resuscitation given prone positioning

Emergence

Postoperative management

Disposition

Pain management

Potential complications

Prone positioning

  • Minimize large volume of crystalloid
    • Ischemic neuropathy
    • Airway edema
    • Consider blood or albumin for intravascular expansion
  • Pad pressure points
    • Check eyes and ears
    • Foam pillow with cutouts for eyes, nose mouth,
    • Typically arms abducted & limit flexion to <90*
    • Pad elbows knees, feet, arms
