Neck and Back Surgery
Overview
Neck and back conditions can cause debilitating pain, restricted movement, and nerve-related complications. When conservative treatments such as medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications fail to provide relief, surgical intervention may be necessary. Our advanced spine surgery techniques aim to restore mobility, relieve pain, and improve the overall quality of life.
Conditions Treated with Surgery
We specialize in treating a wide range of spinal disorders, including:
- Herniated Disc: When the soft cushion between vertebrae ruptures, causing nerve compression.
- Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal leading to nerve pressure and pain.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Wear and tear of spinal discs leading to chronic pain and reduced flexibility.
- Spondylolisthesis: Slipping of one vertebra over another, causing instability.
- Spinal Fractures & Trauma: Fractures from injury or osteoporosis that require surgical stabilization.
- Spinal Tumors: Benign or malignant growths affecting spinal cord function.
- Spinal Infections: Infections like osteomyelitis or discitis that require surgical intervention.
Surgical Treatment Options
Our hospital offers cutting-edge surgical procedures for the spine, including:
- Microdiscectomy: A minimally invasive procedure to remove herniated disc material compressing the nerves.
- Laminectomy: Surgical removal of part of the vertebra to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
- Spinal Fusion: Joining two or more vertebrae to improve stability and reduce pain in degenerative conditions.
- Artificial Disc Replacement: Replacing damaged discs with artificial implants to preserve motion.
- Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS): Advanced techniques using small incisions to reduce recovery time and complications.
- Decompression Surgery: Removing bone or tissue to relieve nerve compression in conditions like spinal stenosis.
- Kyphoplasty & Vertebroplasty: Procedures to stabilize compression fractures and alleviate pain.
- Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS): Implanting a device to modulate nerve signals and manage chronic back pain.
Advanced Technology & Techniques
Our spine surgery department is equipped with the latest innovations, including:
- Intraoperative Neuromonitoring: Ensuring precision and safety during spinal surgeries.
- Navigation-Guided Spine Surgery: Enhancing accuracy with real-time imaging.
- Robot-Assisted Spine Surgery: Improving precision and reducing surgical risks.
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Post-surgery rehabilitation is crucial for a successful recovery. We provide:
- Personalized Physiotherapy Programs: Strengthening the spine and improving mobility.
- Pain Management & Medication: Controlling post-surgical discomfort.
- Lifestyle Modifications & Ergonomic Guidance: Preventing future spinal issues.
When to Consider Surgery
Surgical intervention is recommended when:
- Conservative treatments fail to relieve chronic pain.
- Neurological symptoms like weakness, numbness, or loss of bladder control develop.
- There is severe spinal instability or deformity.
- Quality of life is significantly affected by spinal conditions.
