Spinal fusion surgery is a medical procedure that implements the joining of two or more spine vertebrae. The surgery helps to prevent painful motion of vertebral segments to lessen the pain induced from the joint. This is also called spondylosyndesis of spondylodesis.
Patients who are dealing with the following conditions undergo spinal fusion surgery:
Investigation Required to Diagnose the Procedure
The doctor thoroughly does the health check-up of the patient to evaluate the condition. The diagnostic process involves X-rays, ECG, blood tests and scans.
In addition, the doctor recommends discontinuation of certain drugs, including blood thinners, at least two weeks prior to surgery.
Although the procedure may be performed using different techniques based on the condition of the patient and the expertise of the doctor, here is a common procedure used for spinal fusion surgery.
Step 1: The doctor positions the patient and provides anaesthesia.
Step 2: An incision is gently made in the skin and cells to make a way to the backbone.
Step 3: The doctor utilises a bone graft to unify the adjoining vertebrae. This bone graft can be borrowed from either a donor or the patient himself.
Besides, metallic screws, cages or rods also come in use to provide stability to the vertebrae and stimulate bone fusion. The surgery can be performed either by anterior lumbar interbody fusion or posterior fusion. In the former, the doctor makes a route through the belly, while the latter process involves going from the back.
The patient remains under the surveillance of the hospital for 2-3 days. There may be a requirement for wearing a brace during the recovery period. Pain may be felt post-surgery, but there is no need for complete bed rest. Drugs and medication are sufficient to give support during this period. However, rehabilitation may take a while or a few months until the bone becomes solid.
There may be some minor complications such as infection, bleeding, injury and blood clots.
The success rate of this surgery is as high as 97– 98% approximately.
