Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that aims to stabilize and alleviate spinal disorders by fusing two or more vertebrae together. It is commonly performed to treat conditions such as spinal fractures, degenerative disc disease, spinal deformities, and spinal instability.

Laminectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the lamina or bony arch of a vertebra to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. It is typically performed to treat spinal stenosis or a herniated disc that causes back pain, leg pain, and numbness.
