Spine Surgery

Spine surgery is a specialized medical procedure aimed at correcting structural issues in the spine that cause pain, instability, or neurological problems. It may involve removing herniated discs, fusing vertebrae, or relieving pressure on nerves.

Common Treatments in Spine Surgery

  • Discectomy – Removal of herniated disc material pressing on a nerve.
  • Laminectomy – Removal of part of the vertebra to relieve spinal cord or nerve pressure.
  • Spinal Fusion – Joining two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine.
  • Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty – Minimally invasive procedures to treat spinal fractures.
  • Artificial Disc Replacement – Replacing a damaged disc with an artificial one.
  • Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) – Smaller incisions and quicker recovery.

Causes of Spine Disorders

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spinal stenosis (narrowing of spinal canal)
  • Trauma or fractures
  • Scoliosis or abnormal curvature
  • Tumors or infections affecting the spine

Common Symptoms

  • Persistent back or neck pain
  • Numbness or tingling in arms or legs
  • Weakness in limbs
  • Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control (in severe cases)
  • Shooting pain down the legs (sciatica)

Prevention Tips:

  • Maintain good posture
  • Exercise regularly to strengthen core muscles
  • Use proper lifting techniques
  • Maintain a healthy weight
  • Avoid prolonged sitting or heavy strain on the back
  • Stop smoking (it can reduce bone healing)

When to Consider Spine Surgery?

Spine surgery is typically considered when:

  • Conservative treatments like physiotherapy, medications, or injections have failed
  • There is significant nerve compression causing weakness or loss of function
  • There’s structural instability in the spine
