Spine surgery
Spine surgery encompasses various procedures aimed at treating conditions affecting the spine, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and chronic back pain. Common types include spinal fusion, laminectomy, and minimally invasive techniques.
Types of Spine Surgery
Spinal Fusion
- Joins two or more vertebrae to limit motion and stabilize the spine.
- Commonly used for chronic back pain with degenerative changes.
Laminectomy
- Removes parts of the bone or ligaments to relieve pressure on spinal nerves.
- Often performed for lumbar spinal stenosis.
Discectomy
- Involves removing all or part of a herniated disk that is pressing on nerves.
- Can be done through traditional or minimally invasive methods (microdiscectomy).
- May be combined with other procedures like laminectomy.
Disk Replacement
- Replaces a damaged spinal disk with an artificial one, allowing for movement.
- Recovery time is generally shorter than spinal fusion.
Foraminotomy
- Relieves pain from compressed nerves by widening the space where nerves exit the spine.
