Spine surgery is performed to correct the structural abnormalities like Scoliosis and Kyphosis. It is also performed to decompress the nerve roots and cord in case of severe disc compressions. In case of accidents where there are high chances of spinal cord injury, surgeries are performed to relieve the cord compression. Bad posture and lifestyle habits can cause abnormalities in the spine. Neck pain and back pain in the lumbo sacral region are the commonest complaints.
The removal of herniated or sequestrated part of the disc to relieve the compressed nerve
In this surgery, the bone that covers the vertebrae is removed and enlarged to ease the pressure from stenosis.
The surgery involves fusing two or more segments of the spine by means of bone graft or instrumentation to relieve pain from instabilities and correct the posture.
This surgery proves to be an alternative to Spinal Fusion surgery, although not every patient can go for this type of surgery.
SPINAL DECOMPRESSION SURGERY/ SPINAL LAMINECTOMY
This surgery is performed for Spinal Stenosis patients. The orthopedic surgeons remove the bony spurs or walls compressing the spinal column to ease the compressed nerve pressure.
This surgery is related to slipped disc surgery which is performed to remove a herniated, prolapsed disc that compresses the nerve root and spinal cord. This surgery is often performed in connection with the Laminectomy surgery.
In this type of surgery, the surgeon combines the adjacent vertebrae together using bone grafts or metal implants that ultimately allow the fusion of vertebrae together. For example, TLIF Surgery (Transformational Lumbar Interbody fusion)
The cost of spinal cord operation or the spinal fusion surgery cost is based on:
Extreme to severe back and neck pain are the biggest indications of spinal abnormalities. The initial level of treatment starts with physiotherapy. The patient is under observation and some medications like anti-inflammatory, corticosteroids, and other pain-relieving medications to ease the pain before starting the physiotherapy sessions.
It will approximately take 3-4 weeks to get recover from spine surgery. While physiotherapy and pain management techniques will be continued to get relief from long-lasting pain after surgery.
For minimally invasive spine surgery, you can resume daily activities after 2-3 weeks. But for some spine surgeries like fusion surgery, it will take a much longer time depending upon the location of the surgery and the medical condition of the patient
The physiotherapy sessions start after the patient gets discharged from the hospital. The sessions can last for 4-6 weeks or even longer depend on the patient’s condition and severity of the condition and the nature of surgery performed on the patient.
Yes, spine surgery is absolutely covered under the various insurance policies. However, the coverage depends on the choice of policy an individual opts for. Our HospiOne Team shall guide you in every front and provide the necessary information regarding the insurance policies and Mediclaim procedures.
You should consult a surgeon for spine surgery if:
Spinal Decompression and Fusion
Complications such as infection, instability, nerve damage, or cord injury can occur while performing surgery. Discitis is one of the dreaded complications involving spine surgery.
According to the data, the success rate of spinal surgery is between 49-90%.
