Postlaminectomy flexible kyphosis is a flexible curvature of the spine that can develop after a laminectomy.

The identification of postlaminectomy kyphosis secondary to spinal surgery began in the 20th century when orthopedic surgeons began studying the long-term effects of spinal procedures. The discovery of the mechanisms leading to flexible kyphosis occurred through imaging techniques and clinical observations.
