Postlaminectomy flexible kyphosis is a flexible curvature of the spine that can develop after a laminectomy. Postlaminectomy flexible kyphosis can be caused by spinal procedures, especially after a laminectomy. Treatment may be conservative to relieve pain or, in severe cases, include surgical correction.
Causes/Description:
Laminectomy, spine surgery, degenerative spine diseases (e.g. degenerative disc disease), age, bone diseases (e.g. osteoporosis), genetic factors, lifestyle (e.g. postural habits), postoperative rehabilitation

disc prolapse
Flexible kyphosis after a laminectomy may occur due to the removal of portions of the vertebral bones to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. This can lead to spinal instability, manifested by an abnormal curvature. Postlaminectomy flexible kyphosis can lead to pain and limited mobility.

Make recommendations for back exercises and therapies, provide information about alternative treatment methods, and recommend postoperative rehabilitation. Help comes from orthopedists, physical therapists and chiropractors.
disc prolapse
The identification of postlaminectomy kyphosis secondary to spinal surgery began in the 20th century when orthopedic surgeons began studying the long-term effects of spinal procedures. The discovery of the mechanisms leading to flexible kyphosis occurred through imaging techniques and clinical observations.
