Discectomy
A discectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing part or all of a herniated or damaged disc in the spine. This is usually done to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves, which can cause pain and other symptoms. Discectomies are commonly performed on an outpatient basis and can be done through minimally invasive techniques, resulting in a faster recovery time for patients.
Cervical Laminectomy
Cervical laminectomy is a surgical procedure performed to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots in the neck area. The procedure involves removing a portion of the bony arch, or lamina, of the vertebra to create more space for the spinal cord and nerves. Cervical laminectomy is typically recommended for patients with conditions such as spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or tumors in the cervical spine. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and requires a hospital stay of several days. Patients may require physical therapy or other forms of rehabilitation following the procedure.
Cervical Laminoplasty
Cervical laminoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves creating space in the spinal canal by expanding the lamina, the bony arch that covers the back of the spinal cord. This procedure is typically performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord caused by conditions such as spinal stenosis or herniated discs in the neck. Cervical laminoplasty may be recommended when non-surgical treatments have failed, and the patient experiences symptoms such as neck pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs.
Spinal Lumbar Fusion
Spinal Lumbar Fusion is a surgical procedure used to join two or more vertebrae in the lower back, known as the lumbar spine. The surgery involves using bone grafts, screws, and rods to stabilize the affected area and promote bone growth, which eventually fuses the vertebrae together. This procedure is typically recommended for patients with severe spinal conditions such as degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis. Spinal Lumbar Fusion is a complex surgery that requires a skilled and experienced surgeon, and may require a lengthy recovery period. As with any surgery, there are risks and potential complications, which should be discussed thoroughly with a healthcare provider before making a decision.
Corrective spine deformity surgery
Corrective spine deformity surgery is a surgical procedure performed to correct abnormal curvature of the spine, such as scoliosis or kyphosis. The surgery involves the use of spinal instrumentation, such as rods, screws, or wires, to realign and stabilize the spine. This surgery is usually recommended when non-surgical treatments, such as bracing or physical therapy, have been unsuccessful in improving the condition. Corrective spine deformity surgery is a complex procedure that requires expertise and experience, and can often be performed using minimally invasive techniques, resulting in reduced pain and recovery time for the patient.
Corpectomy
Corpectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of one or more vertebrae, along with the adjacent discs and soft tissue. This is usually done to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots caused by spinal cord injuries, tumors, infections, or other degenerative conditions. Corpectomy is typically performed in a hospital setting and may require a longer recovery period compared to other spinal surgeries. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if corpectomy is the right treatment option for your individual needs.
