What conditions can be treated with spine surgery?
Spine surgery is an effective treatment option for various conditions affecting the spinal column, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease. It can also address spinal fractures, tumors, and deformities such as scoliosis. Surgery aims to alleviate pain, stabilize the spine, and relieve pressure on nerves or the spinal cord. However, it’s typically considered after conservative treatments have been exhausted. A thorough evaluation by a spine specialist is essential to determine the most suitable treatment approach for everyone.
How long does it take to recover from a spine surgery?
Recovering depends upon the type of surgery, age of the patient, overall health of the patient, and severity of the condition. Neurosurgeons at Reem Hospital offer less invasive procedures including day surgery and hence faster recovery time.
What is the most common spine surgery?
The most common spine surgery is a discectomy, particularly for the treatment of herniated discs. In a discectomy, the surgeon removes the damaged or protruding disc that is pressing on nearby nerves, causing pain and other symptoms. This procedure aims to relieve pressure on the nerves and alleviate symptoms such as pain, numbness, and weakness in the affected area. Discectomy is often performed using minimally invasive techniques, which can result in quicker recovery times and less postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgery.
Is there an age limit for spinal surgery?
No, there is no age limit for spinal surgery. Spinal surgery depends upon the overall health condition of the patient. It is better to consult our neurosurgeons to ensure the optimal diagnosis and treatment of the medical condition.
