Overview

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure to combine two vertebrae into a unit structure and eliminating motion between them. The fused vertebral structure acts as a bridge between two spinal segments, connecting and stabilizing the spinal canal. 

 The space between the vertebrae is replaced with a bone graft or a bone-like structure to promote natural bone growth and stabilize the structure. The surgeons use metal plates, clamps, screws, and rods for Spinal Fusion Surgery In Hyderabad, to secure a firm fused vertebral structure.

When Does Our Specialist Recommend Spinal Fusion Surgery in Hyderabad?

Our specialist recommends spinal fusion surgery in the following cases:

• Spinal Deformity– Spinal Fusion surgery is remarkably helpful in treating spinal deformity side curvature due to Scoliosis or Kyphosis.
• Spinal Instability– The fusion surgery helps restore unbalanced motions between vertebrae, causing pain and instability. Spinal instability is a common side-effect in cases of severe osteoarthritis.
• Herniated Disc- It is usually recommended for spinal stabilization after herniated disc removal.

Procedure Of Spine Fusion Treatment

Dr. Praveen performs spinal fusion surgery after thoroughly examining an individual’s case for spinal abnormality. The procedure of spine fusion treatment proceeds in the following steps:

• Incision: The doctor incises skin and retracts other tissues and ligaments from the surgery site, accessing the vertebrae on which the fusion surgery is performed.
• Retraction: The surgeon trims bone spurs or cuts off a degenerated or herniated disk that caused back problems, and makes space for graft implantation. 
• Bone Graft Implantation: The bone graft is either taken from the bone bank or from your own body to replace the removed intervertebral disc. Our surgeon also uses synthetic spacer bone grafts to promote natural bone growth. The bone graft fills in the intervertebral space, giving stability to the vertebral structure.
• Fusion: The surgeon fuse and fix the inserted graft in the vertebrae with metal plates, screws, and clamps to prevent the graft from sliding.
• Incision closure: Finally, the incision is closed with dissolvable sutures and tapes. The doctor prescribes analgesic and bone-strengthening medicines for faster recovery.
