Laminectomy

Posted By Cynthia on December 03, 1998 at 12:15:22:







I am scheduled for a micro lumbar laminectomy on the 17th of December for a ruptured disc at L4-5.  I am just wondering about the procedure itself.  Does this require a general anesthesia or a spinal block?  Is there going to be any tubes inserted in my mouth?(I have always heard bad things about that) Does it require being catheterized?  These are all of the things I am worried about and I do not want to worry if there is no need.  Thank you for your time.
