Spinal Column Reconstruction in Broadway

Patients with severe spinal abnormalities, trauma, or degenerative disorders can receive specialised Spinal Column Reconstruction therapies from our Spine Care department at Manipal Hospitals in Broadway, Kolkata. The intricate surgical process known as Spinal Column Reconstruction aims to restore the spine's stability, alignment, and functionality.

Patients with disorders including scoliosis, spinal fractures, or tumours that have weakened the spine's structural integrity often need this procedure. Using cutting-edge procedures, the spine is realigned, diseased or damaged tissue is removed, and if necessary, implants or bone grafts are inserted to support and stabilise the spine.

Our team of experienced spine surgeons is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and extensive expertise to perform these intricate surgeries with the highest level of precision and care. The goal of Spinal Column Reconstruction is not only to relieve pain and neurological symptoms but also to improve the overall quality of life by restoring the spine’s normal function and appearance.
 

FAQ's

Spinal Column Reconstruction is a complex surgical procedure aimed at restoring the normal alignment, stability, and function of the spine. It is often performed to correct severe spinal deformities, stabilise the spine after trauma, or address conditions like tumours or infections that have compromised the structural integrity of the spinal column.
 

This surgery is usually recommended when there are serious issues with the spine, such as abnormal curves (like scoliosis or kyphosis), instability caused by fractures, tumours, or wear-and-tear diseases, and when simpler treatments haven't worked to ease symptoms or keep the spine properly aligned.
 

Symptoms that might indicate the need for Spinal Column Reconstruction include long-lasting back pain, numbness (loss of sensation), tingling (pins-and-needles feeling), weakness in the limbs (arms or legs), loss of spinal stability, or noticeable spinal deformities (abnormal curves or shapes in the spine). These symptoms often result from conditions like scoliosis (an abnormal curve of the spine), spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), or spinal fractures.
 

While the precise methods may differ, they frequently involve Spinal Fusion, replacement of the vertebral body, stabilising rods and screws, and occasionally the excision of injured discs or vertebrae. The objective is to realign the spine, stabilise it, and release any strain on the spinal cord or nerves.
 

Your doctor will probably suggest a few tests before Spinal Column Reconstruction to assess the state of your spine and determine the most appropriate course of action for surgery. Among these tests are:

  • X-rays: To look for alignment problems or fractures in the bones.

  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Can identify issues such as spinal canal constriction or bulging discs.

  • Computed Tomography (CT) scan: For evaluating defects or damage.

  • Bone Scan: Assists in detecting tumours, infections, and issues with the bones.

  • Nerve Conduction Studies: Examinations to determine whether nerve damage exists and how well your nerves are functioning.

  • Myelogram: An X-ray that uses a specific dye to highlight the spinal cord and nerve roots; helpful in identifying conditions such as spinal narrowing or bulging discs.

Spinal Column Reconstruction surgery usually takes three to six hours, depending on the intricacy of the ailment being treated and the particular steps required.
 

The success rate of Spinal Fusion surgery varies from 70% to 90%, contingent on the particular ailment being treated and personal patient characteristics. Achieving spinal stability, lowering pain, and enhancing general function and quality of life are commonly used to characterise success. Spinal Fusion frequently has good results for conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, and certain spinal fractures. 

Success is influenced by the patient's age, general health, degree of spinal injury, and compliance with postoperative rehabilitation guidelines. The majority of patients report great relief and improved function, but results can vary, and some may need several treatments or continuous care to achieve the best long-term results.
 

Spinal Column Reconstruction surgery carries some risks, such as infection at the surgical site, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), nerve injury that results in sensory or motor abnormalities, and anaesthesia-related consequences like allergic reactions or respiratory problems.

The particular hazards can change based on many variables, including the procedure's nature and complexity, the patient's general health, and any previous medical issues. By thorough surgical planning, antibiotic prophylaxis, monitoring during surgery, and postoperative care procedures customised to each patient's needs, surgeons reduce risks as much as possible.
 

The length of recovery following Spinal Column Reconstruction surgery varies based on the particular technique used. Usually, it starts with a hospital stay for observation and recuperation, during which pain management is continuously evaluated and changed as necessary. Early initiation of physical therapy helps to increase the range of motion, build muscle, and speed up the healing process for the spine.

Physical therapists help patients go step-by-step from bed rest to walking and mild exercises. A full recovery frequently takes weeks or months, during which time patients resume their regular daily activities and progressively increase their level of activity. Follow-up consultations with the surgical team oversee the healing process and handle any issues or difficulties that may come up.
