Abstract
A method for attaching a laminar plate to a vertebra during spinal surgery, especially minimally invasive spinal surgery, to reconstruct the lamina of the vertebra after it has been removed during the surgery and prevent bone re-growth material from entering the spinal canal. The laminar plate can be coupled to, or proximate to, and between a facet and the spinous process by screwing the plate to the bone.
