Treatments

Spine surgery is a specialized medical procedure aimed at treating spinal disorders that cause chronic pain, nerve compression, or instability. It is recommended for conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and degenerative spine diseases when non-surgical treatments like physiotherapy, medications, and injections fail to provide relief. With advancements in medical technology, minimally invasive techniques such as microscopic and endoscopic spine surgery offer faster recovery and reduced post-operative discomfort.

Common Conditions Treated

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
• Spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra)
• Spinal fractures or tumors
• Scoliosis and kyphosis (spinal deformities)

Types of Spine Surgery

• Discectomy: Removal of a herniated disc pressing on a nerve.
• Laminectomy: Removal of part of the vertebra to relieve spinal cord pressure.
• Spinal Fusion: Joining two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine.
• Artificial Disc Replacement: Replacing a damaged disc with an artificial one.
• Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS): Uses small incisions for quicker recovery.

Benefits of Spine Surgery

• Pain relief and improved mobility.
• Correction of spinal deformities.
• Prevention of further nerve damage.
• Faster recovery with minimally invasive techniques.
