I am going to have a Laminectomy soon to try and cure extreme pain I have had for many years. Is there any body who has had this surgery in Perth Australia and if so was it successful and who was the surgeon?

Laminectomy/discectomy on Aug31,2010. Didn't work for me. Worse now than before the surgery:(

JDP1633, thanks for your reply. I'm really happy that you had great, even if not full, recovery. I've always been slim and athletic but in 1996, I was injured horribly by my ex husband with alot of head injuries and L1 and L2 crushed vertabrae. Two years after that, I had a laminoscopy with fusion and my progress was rather slow and I was left with nerve damage to my right side of my body from about the hip down. After over ten years, I'm needing another surgery; that's why I was so curious.
Sounds like your injury was much more severe, I just had a ruptured disk, sounds like you had maybe that and broken vertebrae, so treatment would be much different. But I do wish u the best!

Amazing video! Wonderful how you were able to see a video of your own surgery. How severe was your injury? What vertibrae were involved and how are you doing now after the surgery?

I couldn't walk more than 100yds w/o having to sit down because of pain. Herniation L5/S1. I am doing great, pain 99% gone. I can run, play golf and basketball again w/ no problems. Anyone out there w/ similar problems I can refer you to (in my opinion) one of the best Neurosurgeons in the country. Just send me a msg.
