Spine surgery encompasses a variety of procedures aimed at addressing issues related to the spinal column, often focusing on alleviating pain, correcting deformities, or restoring function.

What is Spine Surgery?

Spine surgery involves surgical intervention to treat disorders of the spine, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and other degenerative conditions. The goal of spine surgery is to relieve pain, stabilize the spine, and improve overall function and quality of life

Types of Spine Surgery
  1. Discectomy:Removal of a portion of a herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve root or the spinal cord, relieving pain and other symptoms.
  2. Laminectomy:Removal of the lamina, the back part of the vertebra, to create more space within the spinal canal and to relive pressure on the spinal cord and nerves..
  3. Spinal Fusion:Joining two or more vertebrae to eliminate motion between them, often used to treat instability or deformity of the spine..
  4. Foraminotomy:Enlargement of the foramen, the space through which nerve roots exit the spine, to relieve pressure on compressed nerves.
  5. Artificial Disc Replacement: Replacing a damaged spinal disc with an artificial one to maintain normal spine hieght and movement of the spine and to relive the pain.
  6. Kyphoplasty/Vertebroplasty: Minimally invasive procedures to treat the vertebral compression fractures by stabilizing the fracture with bone cement.
