Types of spine surgery done by spine surgery
specialist in Bangalore
Fusion: Spinal fusion is done by a surgeon by connecting two or more bones to the spine. It will give stability to the spinal structure and relief for the vertebrae. But the fusion process may put a restriction between the bones in the spine and may also limit the stretching. Smoking is strictly prohibited after this surgery as it increases the chance of infection.
Discectomy: In this procedure the back portion of the vertebrae i.e. the lamina is partially or fully removed to reach the ruptured disc. Here the herniated portion is removed to give relief from the severe pain.
Laminectomy: Laminectomy is a procedure where the surgeon removes the parts of a bone, ligaments or bone spurs which may be putting pressure on the spinal nerves. To give better stability to spinal structure a spinal fusion may also be performed with laminectomy.
Foraminotomy: Here the bones at sides of the vertebrae is cut to give space for the nerve roots to exit the spine. The increased space will give relief and reduce the pressure on the nerves. In this case also a spinal fusion may be done to give stability to the spinal structure.
