Integrated Spine Care combines the knowledge and expertise of Orthopedic and Neurological surgery disciplines to ensure care.
And lumbar canal stenosis keyhole surgery is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve the pain and other symptoms associated with a herniated spinal disc.
A spinal deformity or ‘kubrapan’ is the change in alignment of the spine due to trauma, tuberculosis or at birth. Surgical correction of this requires complex surgical procedures.
Back surgery has a very good success rate if the diagnosis that led to it was sound. While many At times this surgery can fail and is called ‘Failed Back surgery. In these cases the surgery has to be re-done
The commonest case of backache and sciatica:; slipdisc, can now be treated readily by endoscopic spine surgery
Radiofrequency and laser are amazing modalities used for the treatment of backache and neck pain. By laser, we can destroy the herniated disk and permanently treat the backache by just introducing a needle and laser fibre.
This type of surgical procedure involves removing the tissues that compress the nerves in the back. During the surgery process, the surgeons removes parts of the bone that constricts the nerves in the spinal column. As stability of the spine is sometimes affected, a procedure called spinal fusion is also done.
This of the most widely recommended type of spine surgery for spinal conditions caused by and stenosis. The surgery involves removing parts of the back bone, to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves. The surgery is usually performed in combination with spine fusion surgery when instability of spine is suspected.
Although this surgical procedure is not very common, it is applied as one of the new surgical treatments for back pain. An artificial disc is used to replace the damaged spinal disc, which is present between the vertebrae. This surgery permits continued spine mobility and can be done without spine fusion.
This surgery involves joining two vertebrae together to increase spine stability. This results in restricted movements and limits stretching of nerves.
It is a type of spine surgery that is used to treat the herniated disc in the vertebrae. A disc separates two vertebrae and if it herniates inwards it presses on the spinal nerves causing pain. In discectomy all or part of the disc is removed.
