The spine is a very important part of our body as it gives stability & strength to our body whenever we move so any problems in the spine should be addressed and you should consult the orthopedician as soon as you face any problem in your spine.
Doctors first try the invasive methods like injections for your spine problem and if then also your problem does not get solved then they may go for the surgery. In this blog, we will let you know the different types of spine surgery.
Following are the types of spine surgery:
(1) Lumbar decompression: Lumbar decompression surgery is done to correct the narrowing of the spinal canal. In this surgery, the spine surgeon in Vadodara removes the things which are pressuring the spine.
The pressure on the spinal cord arises due to the age at which the spinal canal keeps narrowing. And, the purpose of surgery is to widen the canal to remove the pressure. It is advised to go for a check-up with an orthopedician as the age of the person increases to avoid any major problems in the future.
(2) Lumbar discectomy: Lumbar discectomy is a surgery that treats on an injured disc in the lower back region of the person. There are 2 types of lumbar discectomy: Minimal invasive arthroscopic discectomy and open spine surgery.
(3) Spinal fusion: Spinal fusion surgery is done to treat spinal instability associated with scoliosis or with spinal alignment. In this surgery, 2 or more bones are fused together with healthy bones and locked in a place. It is a permanent solution to problems that are associated with scoliosis or with spinal alignment. It can give a lot of relief and correct a spinal curve up to 80%. Spinal fusion is a very effective surgery because it not only reduces the spinal curve deformity but also it treats side effects like back pain, breathing problems, mobility problems, fractures, and many more problems.
(4) Vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty: In this surgery, bone cement is inserted through a big needle. Bone cement is put into each affected vertebrae. Bone cement strengthens the vertebrae and reduces the pain. If the vertebrae fractures are not treated then you may face a lot of pain thus it is advisable to consult the doctor immediately.
So, these are the types of spinal surgery that are performed by orthopedics.
