I work for a pain management office and we see a number of patients following failed back surgery. The ICD 9 code that I use for post-lumbar laminectomy syndrome is 722.83. The closest ICD 10 code that I can find is M96.1, postlaminectomy syndrome, nec.
If a patient comes in with a disc displacement and has a laminectomy performed and postoperatively the patient still experiences pain in the back, can code 722.83, Postlaminectomy syndrome, be assigned? If the physician performs an MRI and this shows a new herniated disc, then a code for the herniated disc should be assigned.

2022 ICD-10-PCS Procedure Code 00NY0ZZ: Release Lumbar Spinal Cord, Open Approach.
Laminectomy (removal of lamina bone) and diskectomy (removing damaged disk tissue) are both types of spinal decompression surgery. Your provider may perform a diskectomy or other techniques (such as joining two vertebrae, called spinal fusion) during a laminectomy procedure.
Laminectomy is a type of surgery in which a surgeon removes part or all of the vertebral bone (lamina). This helps ease pressure on the spinal cord or the nerve roots that may be caused by injury, herniated disk, narrowing of the canal (spinal stenosis), or tumors.
Cervical laminectomy It usually involves removing a small piece of the back part (lamina) of the small bones of the spine (vertebrae). Laminectomy enlarges the spinal canal to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. Laminectomy is often done as part of a decompression surgery.
63005 Laminectomy with exploration and/or decompression of spinal cord and/or cauda equina, without facetectomy, foraminotomy or discectomy (e.g., spinal stenosis), 1 or 2 vertebral segments; lumbar, except for spondylolisthesis.
ICD-10-PCS will be the official system of assigning codes to procedures associated with hospital utilization in the United States. ICD-10-PCS codes will support data collection, payment and electronic health records. ICD-10-PCS is a medical classification coding system for procedural codes.
But for insurance billing purposes, spinal decompression does not have a specific CPT code to describe the services of spinal decompression. In the HCPCS coding system, there is a code to describe "vertebral axial decompression," and that code is S9090.
Laminectomy is the most common type of surgery done to treat lumbar (low back) spinal stenosis. This is also called decompression surgery. This surgery is done to relieve pressure on the spinal nerve roots caused by age-related changes in the spine.
A laminectomy is a procedure to remove a greater portion of the bone (lamina) covering the roof of the spinal canal. A discectomy is a procedure to remove a portion of a herniated disc in the spine, which is bulging and pushing on a nerve.
A posterior cervical laminectomy and fusion is a procedure used to decompress and stabilize the cervical spine. This relieves pain, weakness and numbness caused by narrowing of the spinal canal, a condition called spinal stenosis. Spinal stenosis is defined by the excessive bone and ligament growth of the spinal canal.
Cervical laminectomy with or without fusion may be utilized to treat multilevel cervical cord compression. In several studies, the clinical outcomes documented in the immediate postoperative period are similar for laminectomy alone versus laminectomy with fusion.
Complete recovery may take 4 to 6 weeks or a few months after a lumbar laminectomy depending on the age and general health of the patient and the number of segments treated.
After a minor (decompressive) laminectomy, you are usually able to return to light activity (desk work and light housekeeping) within a few days to a few weeks. If you also had spinal fusion with your laminectomy, your recovery time will likely be longer -- from two to four months.
One concern you might develop is: Is a laminectomy a major surgery? The truth is, this surgery option is minimally invasive and, at most, might require a short hospital stay. Laminectomy offers you relief from the pain and neurological conditions that result from spinal stenosis.
