Dorsal unroofing after a spinal fusion refers to the surgical procedure in which the bony structures overlying the spinal canal, typically the lamina, are removed to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. This approach is often utilized to address complications such as stenosis or persistent pain following fusion surgery.
