"Dear Mr. XXXXXX,

Hemilaminectomy is a common procedure and how you have said, it was cut the part of the bone and removed the slipped disc herniation. General our surgeons don’t do it ADR, when the hemilaminectomy or laminectomy is done in the same level.
If you want, you can send the MRI to us, but the recommendation stay the same.
We offer also the fusion in our house."

You may be mixing things. A laminectomy removes part of the vertebral body, which would really mess you up for future ADRs. A discectomy removes the bulged part of the disc, which shouldn't affect future ADRs.
