FAQ's

Spine surgery is a medical procedure to correct problems in the spine. It can help relieve pain, improve mobility, and treat various conditions affecting your back and spine.
 

Spine surgery is recommended for conditions such as:

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Spinal stenosis

  • Scoliosis

  • Herniated discs

  • Spinal fractures

  • Spinal tumours and infections

We offer a range of spine surgeries, including:

  • Minimally invasive procedures

  • Spinal decompression

  • Spinal fusion

  • Correction of spinal deformities

  • Treatment for spinal tumours and infections

Preparation before the surgery:

  • Your spine surgeon will ask about your medical history and symptoms and do a thorough check-up.
  • Your doctor will recommend some tests to ensure you’re in good health for the surgery. These might include:
  • Blood Tests: To check for infections or other issues.
  • Imaging Tests: Such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans to get detailed pictures of your spine.
  • Heart Check (ECG): To ensure your heart is healthy.
  • Lung Function Tests: If you have any breathing issues, this will check how well your lungs are working.
  • Urine Test: To spot any infections or other problems.
  • Your healthcare team will give you specific instructions to follow before surgery:
  • Don’t eat or drink anything after midnight before your surgery day.
  • Your doctor will tell you which medicines to keep taking or stop before surgery. Some medicines, like blood thinners, may need to be stopped.
  • Stop smoking and reduce alcohol if you do, as they can affect healing.
  • Sometimes, starting physical therapy before surgery can help you recover faster.
  • Arrange for someone to help you after surgery. You’ll need assistance with daily tasks during the initial recovery period.
     

Full recovery is determined by the patient's condition before surgery, the procedure itself, and the recovery outcome. Most patients recover completely within 2–6 months of surgery, with just a minor degree of additional stiffness that lasts a lifetime. 
 

Yes, physical therapy plays a crucial role in the recovery process. It helps you regain strength, flexibility, and mobility, ensuring the best possible outcome from your surgery.

You will be encouraged to walk and move around the day following surgery, and you will most likely be discharged within one to four days. It will take you 4 to 6 weeks to achieve your projected degree of mobility and function (depending on the severity of your disease and symptoms before surgery).
 

Many patients can resume all activities, even strenuous ones, about six months after surgery. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following your doctor's recommendations will significantly boost your chances of a favourable outcome.
 

Conventional spinal procedures (non-minimally invasive) frequently require substantial dissection of subcutaneous tissues, bones, and ligaments, which causes significant postoperative pain. The pain is significant and often lasts for a few days.
 

A spinal cord injury cannot be reversed. However, researchers are continuously working on new treatments. These include advanced prostheses and drugs that aim to encourage nerve cell regeneration or improve the function of the remaining nerves after a spinal cord injury. While complete reversal of a spinal cord injury is not currently possible, ongoing research is making progress towards improving outcomes and quality of life for those affected.
 

Spine surgery can significantly enhance your quality of life by:

  • Alleviating severe back and neck pain

  • Restoring mobility and flexibility

  • Allowing you to return to daily activities and hobbies

Your stomach will be sensitive following surgery, and you may be unable to process dried or dehydrated foods as well as you normally do. Avoid consuming dried fruits, beef jerky, and certain types of potato chips. Prunes are an exception, as they can help relieve constipation.
 

The best resting position to relieve back pain after surgery is on your back with your knees bent and a pillow under your knees, or on your side with your knees bent and a cushion between your legs.

Comfortable clothes and body alignment, as well as frequent ice treatment (particularly within the first 48 to 72 hours), can all help with pain management. Icing after physical activity, such as walking or stretching, might be useful.
 

When the spinal cord is injured, communications from the brain to the body are twisted or obstructed, causing alterations in how people think, feel, and react to their surroundings.
