Spine Procedures

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is the latest technology available to perform spinal surgeries through small, less than one-inch-long incisions. It involves the use of special surgical instruments, devices and advanced imaging techniques to visualize and perform the surgery through such small incisions.

Spine deformity can be defined as abnormality in the shape, curvature, and flexibility of the spine. When the curves are exaggerated, pronounced problems can occur such as back pain, breathing difficulties and fatigue. The spine or backbone provides stability to the upper part of the body. It helps to hold your body upright.

Complex spinal reconstruction is a major surgical procedure to correct spine deformities and associated symptoms such as pain, numbness, and instability in your back, shoulders, arms, or legs. It is a challenging procedure and requires the utmost care and precision to obtain satisfactory results.

Revision spine surgery is surgery performed in certain patients to correct the problems of earlier spine surgery. Revision surgery is indicated in patients with chronic pain even after surgery. Failed back syndrome or failed back surgery is a condition used to describe persistent back pain following back surgeries.

Degenerative spine surgery includes surgical procedures to treat degenerative spine conditions such as disc disease and spinal stenosis that can result in the gradual deterioration of the spine with pain and loss of function. Degenerative spine surgery may involve removal or replacement of the spinal discs, surgery to relieve nerve compression, or fusion of the vertebrae to improve spine stability.

Spine surgery is a surgical procedure to treat conditions of the spine such as structural abnormalities, infections, trauma, tumors, malformations, and degenerative spine conditions like stenosis and herniated discs. Spine surgery can be performed either by open surgery or minimally invasive techniques.
