Spine Surgery in Ghaziabad

Backache is one of the most commonly reported problems that occur due to our sedentary lifestyle and bad posture in most cases. Long hours of sitting in a chair or sofa/bed specifically after COVID has caused an increase in the number of medical conditions related to the spine. This can result in chronic back pain, and difficulty in movement, and may get more complex if left untreated. Spine surgery is a medical speciality that focuses on the treatment of conditions affecting the spine, including degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, and spinal fractures. Manipal Hospitals Ghaziabad is a one-stop centre for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for conditions affecting the spine.

All About Spine and Spine Surgery

The spine, which consists of 33 vertebrae, is a complex structure that plays a crucial role in supporting the body. Spine surgery may be necessary when other treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or injections have failed to provide relief or improve symptoms. There are various types of spine surgeries performed, including minimally invasive procedures, decompression surgery, fusion surgery, and artificial disc replacement. The goal of spine surgery is to alleviate pain, improve function, and enhance the patient's quality of life.

Types of Spine Surgeries

Multiple types of spine surgeries are performed based on the medical condition a person is suffering from. Only an experienced orthopaedic doctor can best determine the type of surgery required after thoroughly assessing your medical record. We have listed some common spine surgeries that are performed to treat numerous spine problems:

  • Discectomy

The surgical removal of a herniated disc that is causing nerve compression or pain.

  • Spinal Fusion

A surgical procedure involving joining two or more vertebrae to prevent movement and provide stability.

  • Laminectomy

A procedure in which part of the vertebra called the lamina is removed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots.

  • Foraminotomy

A surgery to relieve pressure on nerves caused by the narrowing of the foramen, the small opening between vertebrae that allows nerve roots to exit the spinal cord.

  • Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty

A procedure that involves injecting a special cement into a fractured vertebra to stabilize it and relieve pain.

  • Artificial Disc Replacement

Artificial Disc Replacement is a procedure in which a damaged or diseased disc is replaced with an artificial disc to restore function and reduce pain.

  • Microdiscectomy

A minimally invasive procedure that removes a small portion of a herniated disc to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots.

  • Endoscopic Discectomy

A minimally invasive procedure that uses an endoscope to remove the herniated portion of a disc.

  • Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)

A procedure in which a herniated or degenerative disc is removed through the front of the neck and replaced with a bone graft and plate to fuse the vertebrae together.

  • Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF)

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) is a procedure in which a degenerated disc is removed from the lower back, and a bone graft is inserted between the vertebrae to promote fusion and stability.

Benefits of Spine Surgery 

Spine surgery in Ghaziabad is done with multiple objectives. In some cases, it is done to treat any deformity,  and in some to relieve pain and enhance mobility after an injury. Following are some of the benefits of spine surgery:

  • Relieves chronic back pain

Spine surgery can provide long-term relief from chronic back pain, which can significantly improve a patient's quality of life.

  • Improves mobility and function

Surgery can help restore mobility and function, allowing patients to perform daily activities with greater ease.

  • Corrects spinal deformities

Spine surgery can correct spinal deformities, such as scoliosis, which can improve posture and overall appearance.

  • Prevents nerve damage

If left untreated, spinal conditions can cause nerve damage, leading to permanent loss of sensation or weakness in limbs. Spine surgery can prevent or alleviate nerve damage.

  • Reduces dependence on medications

Surgery can reduce a patient's dependence on pain medications, which can have negative side effects.

  • May prevent future spine problems

Addressing a spinal problem through surgery can prevent further degeneration of the spine and reduce the risk of future spinal issues.
