Spine Surgery

Spinal surgery is one of the most complex and complicated medical procedures used to manage a wide range of spinal conditions and spinal cord abnormalities

  • • To reduce deformity • To stabilize a painful segment • To decompress the nerves of the spinal cord

Need of a spine surgery

You need a spine surgery when you experience severe symptoms like difficulty in performing normal functions, failure of physio to relive pain, severe injuries etc. We have discussed such symptoms below.

Difficulty in performing Normal Functions

Advancing age reduces the proper functioning and mobility of the spine, which hinders the normal functioning of the body. With spinal surgery, this can be enhanced.

Failure of physio to relieve pain:

Non-surgical procedures such as physiotherapy, medicine, and exercises are not always effective in relieving pain for patients with spin injury.

Injury

There is less chance of successful treatment with approaches other than spinal surgery in cases of severe spine injury.

Quality of Life

The effects of spine problems such as restrictions in movement and discomfort can be a major drawback for patients and discourage them from living a normal and happy life. In most cases, spinal surgery will eternally alleviate these symptoms and provide a good quality of life

Progression of Spinal Problems

Spinal conditions like osteoporosis and symptoms of the nerve deteriorate with time unless properly treated. Progression in such cases may lead to disability, increased symptoms, and other complications.

Deformity

Spinal deformities, such as scoliosis and other such deformities cannot be corrected without spinal surgery at later stages unless treated very early with physiotherapy and braces.

Spinal Surgery Procedures

Spinal surgery procedures requires the orthopedic doctor to perform the surgery carefully. In LIFESPAN we can assist the spine injured patients with the below surgeries. Our surgeries are performed with utmost expertise by Dr. Vijay. .

Cervical Spine Surgery

  • Cervical spine surgery is generally done on an elective basis to treat either the impingement of the nerve / spinal cord, i.e. decompression surgery, or the fusion procedure, which is done for spinal instability. Cervical spine dysfunction correction is done primarily through two methods-decompression and fusion.

Lumbar Spine Surgery

  • Lumbar spine surgery is recommended for people with pain that radiates from the low back to the buttocks and back of the knee, pain that interferes with day-to-day activities, weakness of the legs or feet, numbness of the legs, feet or toes, loss of bowel and bladder control when physiotherapy and supportive medicines fail to provide support.

Slipped Disc

  • The procedure aims to remove the herniated portion of the disc from the spine. Herniated disc surgery is done using different techniques. A extruded disc is normally the last stage of the degeneration of the spine. Surgery is often the last step and is advised for patients who have not stabilized with traditional treatment such as medications, injections, and physiotherapy in six weeks.

Spinal Fusion

  • It is a procedure that fuses two or more spinal vertebrae permanently to eliminate the friction between them, providing cohesion to the vertebral segments, and removing the pain associated with it. Spinal fusion aligns and stabilizes the spine, maintains the standard space between the vertebrae, relieves pain, and prevents the spinal cord and nerves from damage.

Scoliosis Surgery

  • Spinal fusion involves scoliosis surgery, which is quite successful in correcting the curve. Doctors can straighten the curve to a large extent with sophisticated techniques, which greatly improves the appearance and function of the patient. Scoliosis is the lateral curvature that occurs mostly during the growing years of the child in a normally straight spine. A side view reveals convexity in the upper back and concavity in the lower back, although from the front or back view it looks normal.

Invasive Spine Surgery

  • This Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery procedure is considered revolutionary as it treats spinal disc abnormalities successfully with minimal muscle damage and less recovery time. Unlike traditional surgery, the primary goal of minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is to stabilize the vertebrae and decompress the impinged nerve to ease pain and alleviate symptoms by reducing the pressure on nerves caused by herniated discs, spinal stenosis, bone spurs or tumors.
