In my hands 1 week
It is an outpatient procedure followed by 2-4 weeks of physical therapy. Most activities of daily living are limited only by tolerance. Ask your surgeon about their specific protocol though.
Good luck with surgery,

In general, the recovery after laminectomy depends on how many levels of laminectomy are performed.
