Spine surgery is performed to treat various conditions affecting the spinal column, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and spinal fractures. The goal is to alleviate pain, restore function, and prevent further damage. A small incision is made over the affected disc, and the herniated portion is removed. In some cases, the entire disc may be removed (total discectomy). The lamina, a part of the vertebra, is removed to create more space for the spinal cord and nerves. Vertebroplasty involves injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebra. Kyphoplasty involves inserting a balloon to create space before injecting the cement. Depending on the surgery type, techniques vary from minimally invasive to more extensive open procedures. A minimally invasive technique using a microscope for better visualization and smaller incisions. Spine surgery encompasses a variety of procedures designed to address specific spinal conditions. Requires a hospital stay of several days, with a recovery period of several months. Physical therapy is essential for regaining strength and mobility.

With advancements in surgical techniques, many spine surgeries can be performed minimally invasively, leading to quicker recovery times and better outcomes. Spine surgery encompasses a range of procedures designed to address various spinal conditions, offering relief from pain and restoration of function. Advances in minimally invasive techniques and technology have significantly improved the outcomes and recovery times for patients.
