The average hospital stay for people who have had laminectomy surgery is between 1 to 4 days.

After the laminectomy surgery the hospital staff will want you to stay in the hospital for between 1 to 4 days and during the hospital stay they will monitor you and your health.

The hospital staff monitors the patient for any possible complications after the laminectomy surgery.

Also during your hospital stay after the laminectomy surgery you will usually have a physical therapist work with you on a rehabilitation program.

You usually need some physical therapy to get back to normal after you have the laminectomy surgery.

After you have the laminectomy surgery done you should be fully recovered or at least near full recovered within 6 weeks after the laminectomy.
