Spine diseases can appear due to a sedentary lifestyle, unfavorable ecology, improper diet or internal problems of the body. To treat or relieve symptoms, conservative therapy methods are usually chosen. But if they do not give the desired result, spinal surgery (surgery on the spine) comes to the rescue. This is one of the most modern and rapidly developing areas in the treatment of the spine and spinal cord.
Indications for surgical intervention are situations when the nerves or spinal cord are compressed, serious changes or deformations occur in the vertebrae, defects arise, or injuries cause serious consequences.
Surgery most often becomes necessary if conservative treatment has not produced the desired result within six months, the disease progresses, and therapy only relieves symptoms but does not eliminate the causes.
Spinal surgery helps to correct disorders and eliminate pain, returning a person to full movement and comfort.
The method of performing the surgery depends on the location of the damaged area and the nature of the disease or injury. The choice of appropriate equipment is made after a full examination, which for us includes CT (computer tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).
During spine surgeries, direct access to the vertebrae is often used. However, depending on the intervention area, the incision can be made from different sides. For example, when removing a hernia, the incision is made from the back. To work with the cervical spine, access is from the side. And in the case of lumbar surgeries, the surgeon can make an incision through the abdominal cavity. The correct approach is chosen by an orthopedic surgeon, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient.
Main types of surgical interventions:
We should also highlight gentle techniques that do not require large incisions. Surgeons make several small incisions, which reduces blood loss and shortens recovery time.
Examples of such operations:
