Spine surgery, which can be open or minimally invasive, addresses conditions like spinal deformities, infections, tumors, and degenerative issues, and includes procedures like diskectomy, laminectomy, and spinal fusion.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Types of Spine Surgery:

  • Open (Traditional) Spine Surgery:Involves a longer incision along the backbone to allow the surgeon to access the spine.
  • Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS):Uses smaller incisions and specialized tools to access the spine, potentially leading to less pain and faster recovery.
  • Robotic Spine Surgery:Utilizes robotic systems to assist the surgeon with precise placement of screws and other hardware.
  • Endoscopic Spine Surgery: A minimally invasive approach using a small incision and an endoscope to view and treat the spine.
    Common Spine Surgery Procedures:
  • Diskectomy Removal of a damaged portion of a spinal disc to relieve pressure on nerves.
  • Laminectomy Removal of the back part of a spinal bone (lamina) to create more space for the spinal cord and nerves.
  • Foraminotomy Widening the opening in the back where nerve roots leave the spinal column.
  • Spinal Fusion Joining two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine, often used for conditions like spinal stenosis or scoliosis.
  • Artificial Disk Replacement: Replacing a damaged disc with a synthetic disc to restore height and movement between vertebrae.
  • Decompression Removing pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, often done in conjunction with fusion.
  • Laminectomy and ForaminotomyUsed to remove bone spurs or thickened ligaments that are pressing on the nerves.
  • Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF) and Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (MIS TLIF)Common minimally invasive procedures for lumbar spine issues.
  • Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF):A common procedure for neck pain caused by unstable or damaged vertebrae.
  • SI Joint FusionUsed to stabilize the sacroiliac joint, which can cause low back pain when it moves excessively.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) Advantages:

  • Smaller incisions, leading to less muscle damage and tissue trauma.
  • Potentially less pain and faster recovery.
  • Can be used for various spine conditions, including lumbar or cervical discectomy, decompressive laminectomy, and spinal fusion.
