Spine Surgery

Spine surgery refers to surgical procedures performed to treat various conditions affecting the spine, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, fractures, or degenerative disc disease. These surgeries can aim to relieve pain, stabilize the spine, or correct deformities.

Some common types of spine surgeries include:

1. Discectomy: Removal of a damaged or herniated disc.
2. Spinal Fusion: Joining two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine.
3. Laminectomy: Removal of part of the vertebra (lamina) to relieve pressure on nerves.
4. Spinal Decompression: Removing tissue or bone to relieve nerve pressure.
5. Artificial Disc Replacement: Replacing a damaged disc with an artificial one.

The type of surgery depends on the condition being treated, and recovery can vary based on the procedure and the patient’s overall health.
