Spine Surgery

Some Typical Spinal Surgeries Include :

Discectomy :

If you have a bulging disc or a herniated disc it may be pressing on your nerves. In a discectomy the surgeon will remove all or part of the` disc.

Anterior Cervical Disectomy and Fusion:
A procedure that reaches the cervical spine (neck) through a small incision in the front of the neck. The intervertebral disc is removed and replaced with a small plug of bone or other graft substitute, and in time,` that will fuse the vertebrae

Cervical Corpectomy:
A procedure that removes a portion of the vertebra and adjacent intervertebral discs to allow for decompression of the cervical spinal cord and spinal nerves. A bone graft, and in some cases a metal plate and screws, is used to stabilize the spine.

Facetectomy:
A procedure that removes a part of the facet (a bony structure in the spinal canal) to increase the space.

Foraminotomy:
A procedure that removes the foramina (the area where the nerve roots exit the spinal canal) to increase the size of the nerve pathway. This surgery can be done alone or with a laminotomy.

Laminoplasty:
A procedure that reaches the cervical spine (neck) from the back of the neck, which is then reconstructed to make more room for the spinal canal.

Spine Fusion and Instrumentation :
Spinal Fusion and Instrumentation is undertaken when simple decompression of the nerves is inadequate due to the presence of spinal instability (abnormal motion). A fusion procedure links adjacent spinal vertebrae by promoting bone growth between them. Doing so eliminates the pain associated with abnormal motion between the vertebrae and prevents further injury to the nerves caused by compression and traction on the nerves produced by the abnormal motion

Spine Surgery varies with spine disease location. Some time procedure are used incombinations . In India nowadays new modality is emerged such as Nucleoplasty , IDET , Ozone Discectomy which is also called as an non invasive or minimmally having small incision .
