Spine surgery encompasses a variety of surgical procedures aimed at addressing issues related to the spine, including the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, ligaments, and nerves.
Spine surgery is a medical procedure performed to treat various conditions affecting the spine, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, or degenerative disc disease. The goal of spine surgery is to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function. Procedures can range from minimally invasive techniques, such as microdiscectomy or spinal fusion, to more complex surgeries, depending on the condition and severity.
Persistent back, neck, or radiating pain that does not respond to conservative treatments may indicate the need for surgical intervention.
Weakness, numbness, or tingling in the arms or legs caused by nerve compression can be effectively addressed through surgery.
Conditions such as spondylolisthesis, where one vertebra slips over another, may require stabilization through spinal fusion.
Abnormalities like scoliosis or kyphosis can impact posture and function, often necessitating surgical correction.
Fractures or injuries to the spine may require surgical intervention to stabilize the spine and promote healing.
Tumors or infections affecting the spine can necessitate surgery to remove the affected tissue and alleviate pressure on the spinal cord.
Surgical site infections can occur, requiring antibiotics or additional treatment. Proper wound care is crucial to minimize this risk.
Some bleeding is normal during surgery, but excessive bleeding may require blood transfusions or additional interventions.
While rare, nerve damage can occur during spine surgery, leading to weakness, numbness, or changes in sensation in the arms or legs.
At TAH Global Healthcare, we take every precaution to minimise these risks by employing the latest surgical techniques and providing personalised care for each patient.
Removal of herniated or degenerated discs that are pressing on spinal nerves, causing pain, weakness, or numbness.
Removal of a portion of the vertebra called the lamina to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
A procedure that involves joining two or more vertebrae together to stabilize the spine and prevent movement.
Minimally invasive procedures used to treat vertebral compression fractures by injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebra to restore height and relieve pain.
Depending on the type of spine surgery, patients may stay in the hospital for one to several days for monitoring and pain management.
Pain medication will be prescribed to manage discomfort. It is important for patients to communicate openly with their healthcare team about their pain levels and any side effects of medications.
Rehabilitation is often an integral part of recovery. Physical therapy may begin soon after surgery to strengthen muscles, improve mobility, and facilitate healing. Therapists may teach patients safe ways to perform daily activities during recovery.
Patients are typically advised to avoid heavy lifting, twisting, or strenuous activities for several weeks following surgery. Gradual reintroduction of physical activities is encouraged as healing progresses.
Keeping the incision clean and dry is essential to prevent infection. Patients will receive instructions on how to care for the surgical site and when to schedule follow-up appointments.
After recovering from spine surgery, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and attending regular follow-up appointments is crucial for long-term spine health.
Patients are encouraged to engage in low-impact exercises like walking, swimming, or yoga to strengthen the back muscles and improve flexibility. Maintaining a healthy weight is also important, as it reduces stress on the spine and prevents future issues. Practicing good posture while sitting, standing, and lifting can help prevent strain on the back. Regular check-ups with a spine specialist ensure recovery progress is monitored and any emerging concerns are addressed. By following these practices, patients can enjoy lasting relief and improved health.
