Lamina is the bone on the back part of the spine. They cut that off in this type of surgery. If they just do one or two vertebra usually a one night stay in the hospital. They did mine from L2 to S1. Woke up with a drain tube sewed into my back. I wanted to leave the next day. Doc said screw you, you can leave when that drain tube stops draining blood and fluids. I was in there 5 days. I'm glad I'm getting back on my feet because I do not want a repeat of this ever again...
