Spinal Surgery
Overview
Spinal surgery is performed to treat various conditions affecting the spine, including degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, spinal tumors, and traumatic injuries. Our expert team specializes in advanced surgical techniques to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve the quality of life for patients with spinal disorders.
Conditions Treated
- Herniated Discs – Causing nerve compression, pain, and weakness.
- Spinal Stenosis – Narrowing of the spinal canal leading to nerve compression.
- Degenerative Disc Disease – Age-related wear and tear on spinal discs.
- Spinal Fractures & Trauma – Injuries caused by accidents or osteoporosis.
- Scoliosis & Spinal Deformities – Abnormal curvature of the spine requiring correction.
- Spinal Tumors – Benign and malignant growths affecting the spine.
Diagnosis
Our hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to evaluate spinal conditions accurately:
- MRI & CT Scans: High-resolution imaging to assess spinal structure and nerve compression.
- X-rays: Identifying fractures, deformities, and degenerative changes.
- Electromyography (EMG) & Nerve Conduction Studies: Evaluating nerve function and detecting nerve damage.
- Myelography: Contrast imaging to assess spinal cord and nerve root compression.
Treatment Options
Our spinal surgery department provides a range of surgical interventions tailored to each patient’s condition:
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)
- Microdiscectomy: Removal of herniated disc material to relieve nerve pressure.
- Endoscopic Spine Surgery: Using small incisions and cameras for precise surgical interventions.
- Percutaneous Spinal Fusion: A less invasive approach to spinal stabilization.
Open Spinal Surgery
- Laminectomy & Decompression Surgery: Removing bone or tissue to relieve spinal cord or nerve compression.
- Spinal Fusion: Stabilizing the spine by fusing two or more vertebrae.
- Artificial Disc Replacement: Replacing damaged discs to maintain spinal flexibility.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
- Robotic-Assisted Spine Surgery: Enhancing precision and reducing recovery time.
- Navigation-Guided Surgery: Using real-time imaging for accurate implant placement.
- Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty: Cement injections to stabilize vertebral fractures.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Recovery after spinal surgery is crucial for long-term success. Our rehabilitation programs include:
- Physical Therapy: Strengthening muscles and improving mobility.
- Pain Management: Multimodal approaches, including medication and therapy.
- Occupational Therapy: Helping patients regain daily function and independence.
When to Consider Spinal Surgery
Patients experiencing persistent back pain, neurological deficits (weakness, numbness, or loss of bladder/bowel control), or severe spinal instability may require surgical intervention for relief and recovery. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent further complications and improve overall spinal health.
Our specialized spinal surgery team is committed to providing personalized, evidence-based care to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
