What are the costs of a laminectomy?
I can't say exactly, but I had a Discectomy and Laminectomy. I was in hospital for 2 days, one night. The costs were just over $35,000. That does not include pre-op visits, blood work, MRI, etc.In the UK a laminectomy be could performed by the NHS in which case it will not cost you any money. However, such an operation will have very long waiting lists. If you were to pay for a laminectomy privately it would cost a substantial amount of money. but if your vertebrae damage came from an accident you could claim the cost of the laminectomy as well as other expenses from the party considered at fault. See the link entitled "back injury claims" to see the amounts of compensation you can claim for the pain and suffering for injuries to your spine including a laminectomy.
