Lumbar Microdisectomy
Lumbar microdiscectomy is a surgery to treat a damaged disc in the lower back. It is usually recommended if symptoms are severe, getting worse, or not improving with other treatments. During this procedure, the part of the disc causing problems is removed through small, minimally invasive incisions in the lower back.
Laminectomy
Laminectomy is a surgery where the surgeon removes parts of the spine, including the lamina (small flat bones), ligaments under the lamina, and sometimes the facet joints (connections between the spine bones). This is done to reduce pressure on the spinal nerves and spinal cord and relieve pain, numbness, or discomfort.
You may need a laminectomy if you have spinal canal narrowing (spinal stenosis), a spinal tumor, or a spinal injury.
Lumbar Decompression
Lumbar decompression is a surgery that relieves pressure on the nerves in your lower back. This pressure is often caused by wear and tear in the discs, ligaments, and facet joints.
When nerves are compressed, it can cause pain in the lower back, buttocks, and legs, and in some cases, numbness, weakness in the legs, or problems with bladder or bowel function.
Decompression surgery is usually very effective in relieving these symptoms, especially in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
Lumbar Fusion
Lumbar fusion is a surgery in which one or more vertebrae in the lower back are stabilized and joined together. It may be recommended for conditions such as spondylolisthesis, lumbar spinal stenosis, scoliosis, herniated discs, or traumatic instability in the lower back.
Spinal fusion stops movement between the fused vertebrae and prevents the nerves in that area from being stretched, which helps relieve pain. Most lumbar fusions involve only one or two spinal segments and usually do not significantly limit the flexibility of your lower back.
Cervical Decompression
Cervical myelopathy and cervical radiculopathy can cause weakness and numbness in the arms and legs, pain or tingling that travels down one or both arms, difficulty walking, and sometimes bladder or bowel problems.
Posterior decompression: In this surgery, the cervical spine is approached from the back of the neck. The surgeon removes the lamina (a bony part of the spine) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. A fusion is then performed using rods and screws, along with bone grafts, to stabilize the spine.
Anterior decompression: In this procedure, the spine is approached from the front of the neck. The surgeon removes the herniated disc, and sometimes part of the vertebra (corpectomy), to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots. A bone graft is used to fill the space, and a metal plate with screws is used to hold the spine in place.
Cervical Fusion
The goal of this surgery is to fuse two or more bones in the neck (cervical spine). It is commonly done to treat cervical spine fractures, dislocations, herniated discs, degenerative cervical disease, or arthritis.
During the procedure, the affected disc and any bone spurs are removed to relieve pressure on the nerves and spinal cord (decompression). The space where the disc was removed is then filled with a bone graft, implants, or both. Screws, rods, or metal plates are often used to stabilize the vertebrae while they heal and fuse together.
Spinal Fractures Fixation
This surgery is done when there is significant spine instability or spinal cord compression after a spine fracture. It involves stabilizing the spine with metal hardware such as plates, rods, hooks, screws, or cages while the bones heal and fuse together.
After surgery, rehabilitation with supervised physiotherapy is important to help restore strength, mobility, and function.
Kyphoplasty/ Vertebroplasty
These are minimally invasive procedures used to treat spinal fractures, often caused by osteoporosis.
Vertebroplasty involves injecting special bone cement into the fractured vertebra to stabilize and strengthen it.
Kyphoplasty is similar, but adds an extra step: a small balloon is inserted and inflated inside the fractured vertebra to create space. The balloon is then removed, and the cavity is filled with bone cement. This can stabilize the bone and sometimes restore some of the vertebra’s original height, reducing spinal deformity.
Both procedures are highly effective, usually have a short recovery time, and carry a low risk of complications.
