FAQ's

Specific signs and symptoms may necessitate seeking advice from a spine specialist to ascertain their underlying causes and achieve an accurate diagnosis. You may need to visit a spine specialist if:

  • You have persistent and progressive pain in the back, especially in the lower region.

  • Conventional treatments such as physical therapy, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, or spinal injections do not help resolve your spine issues.

  • Your mobility is affected, impacting your day-to-day activities.

  • The severity of disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or other neurological conditions leading to nerve compressions.

Your specialist will recommend certain guidelines to prepare you for spine surgery. General instructions include:

  • Quitting smoking and drinking

  • Preparing yourself for homecoming by making certain modifications beforehand

  • Exercising regularly and being active

  • Consulting your doctor to determine if discontinuing certain medications is necessary

Spinal surgeons at Manipal Hospitals are proficient in various surgical procedures and make decisions based on the individual’s condition and the severity of the disorder. Some of the procedures include the following:

  • Endoscope-assisted Spinal Surgery: Used in herniated discs, spondylitis, and spinal stenosis.

  • Vertebroplasty: Employed for those with serious spinal fractures, narrowing of the spinal canal, and osteoporotic or neoplastic vertebral compression fractures refractory to medical therapy.

  • Artificial Disc Replacement: For patients with disc dislocation and other disc-related disorders.

  • Cervical Laminoplasty: Addressed for patients with severe arthritis, herniated discs, tumours, spinal degenerative changes, or fractures.

  • Spinal Column Reconstruction: For patients with various spinal deformities.

  • Minimally Internal Decompression: Mainly used in addressing patients with spinal stenosis

  • Spinal Fusion Surgeries, such as Lumbar, Posterior and Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion

  • Discectomy: Used in several diseases related to the degeneration of discs, or in combination with other spinal fusion procedures.

  • Robotic-assisted Surgery: Usually combined with other minimally invasive procedures for enhanced visualisation and precise control during surgery.

Your initial consultation with the surgeon includes collecting information on your symptoms, medical history, past trauma or accidents, and general condition. Your surgeon will also conduct a physical examination and metabolic assessment, followed by diagnostic imaging scans like X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to gather comprehensive information about your symptoms. Based on your results, your healthcare provider will discuss suitable treatment options, potential risks and complications, the expected recovery time, and post-operative care instructions with you.

Similar to complications that may occur in any surgical procedure, Spine Surgery also has its own risks and potential complications. Risks that could arise due to Spine Surgery include:

  • Damages in the nerve, leading to pain, paralysis, or weakness

  • Excessive bleeding or leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

  • Allergic reactions due to anaesthesia or other drugs

  • Infections that may lead to inflammation or delayed wound healing

  • Manifestation of Blood clot formation, sometimes leading to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in legs or pulmonary embolism in the lungs

  • Chances of dural tear, nerve injury, herniated discs, and spinal instability

  • Reduced flexibility and limited movement

The recovery period after Spine Surgery typically varies depending on factors such as the type and extent of surgery, age, body weight, prescribed medications, other comorbidities, and your pace of recovery. Minimally invasive procedures like Laminotomy, Microdiscectomy, and Endoscope-assisted Spine Surgery generally require only a few weeks for recovery. For older individuals undergoing major surgeries, the recovery rate spans around 4 to 6 months. Moreover, procedures such as Laminectomy and Discectomy usually have a recovery span of 6 to 12 months. Spinal fusion surgeries may take up to a year for complete fusion of the vertebrae. Your medical healthcare provider will inform you of your recovery period and recommend certain medications and treatments to facilitate your healing process.

You can enhance recovery and manage pain at home by:

  • Following the prescribed medication schedule tailored by your doctor.

  • Allowing yourself to rest comfortably and avoid any strenuous activities.

  • Avoiding prolonged hours of sitting and standing

  • Restricting the amount of time spent in driving

  • Maintaining a healthy lifestyle

  • Following a balanced diet

  • Keeping yourself hydrated at all times

  • Collaborating with your physical therapist and engaging in exercises aimed at increasing your mobility.
