Neuro Spine Surgery

Department Of Neuro Spine Surgery

Neuro Spine Surgery is a specialized medical field focused on the surgical treatment of disorders affecting the spine, spinal cord, and surrounding nerves. It encompasses both minimally invasive and complex surgical procedures for conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spinal tumors, and spinal deformities. Using advanced surgical techniques including microsurgery, endoscopic procedures, and spinal instrumentation, this department provides comprehensive care for patients with spinal disorders requiring surgical intervention.

Our Neuro Spine Surgery Doctors Team

Herniated Disc

Bulging or ruptured spinal disc pressing on nerves causing pain, numbness, and weakness. Common in lumbar and cervical spine requiring surgical treatment.

Spinal Stenosis

Narrowing of spinal canal causing pressure on spinal cord and nerves. Results in pain, numbness, and difficulty walking requiring decompression surgery.

Spinal Tumors

Benign or malignant growths in spine or spinal cord causing pain, neurological deficits, and spinal instability requiring surgical removal.

Spinal Fractures

Broken vertebrae from trauma, osteoporosis, or tumors causing pain, deformity, and potential spinal cord injury requiring stabilization.

Scoliosis and Spinal Deformities

Abnormal curvature of spine causing pain, deformity, and breathing problems. May require surgical correction with spinal fusion and instrumentation.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Damage to spinal cord from trauma causing paralysis, loss of sensation, and loss of function requiring immediate surgical intervention.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Age-related wear and tear of spinal discs causing chronic pain and stiffness. May require disc replacement or fusion surgery.

Spondylolisthesis

Slipping of one vertebra over another causing pain, nerve compression, and spinal instability requiring surgical stabilization.

Spinal Infections

Bacterial or fungal infections of spine causing pain, fever, and neurological deficits requiring surgical debridement and antibiotic treatment.

MRI Spine

High-resolution imaging of spine and spinal cord to evaluate discs, nerves, and soft tissues. Essential for diagnosing spinal conditions.

CT Scan Spine

Detailed imaging of bone structures and spinal anatomy. Useful for evaluating fractures, tumors, and planning surgical procedures.

X-rays

Basic imaging to evaluate spinal alignment, fractures, and degenerative changes. First-line imaging for many spinal conditions.

Myelography

Specialized imaging using contrast to evaluate spinal cord and nerve roots. Useful when MRI is contraindicated or inconclusive.

Electromyography (EMG)

Testing of nerve and muscle function to evaluate nerve compression and damage. Helps localize spinal problems.

Bone Scan

Nuclear medicine imaging to detect bone abnormalities, infections, and tumors affecting the spine.

Discography

Injection of contrast into spinal discs to identify painful discs and guide treatment decisions for disc-related problems.

Nerve Conduction Studies

Testing of nerve function to evaluate nerve compression and damage from spinal conditions.

Preoperative Assessment

Comprehensive evaluation including cardiac, pulmonary, and anesthesia assessment to ensure safe spinal surgery.

Microdiscectomy

Minimally invasive removal of herniated disc material pressing on nerves. Quick recovery with excellent pain relief and outcomes.

Laminectomy

Surgical removal of lamina to decompress spinal cord and nerves. Used for spinal stenosis and other compression conditions.

Spinal Fusion

Surgical joining of vertebrae to stabilize spine. Used for fractures, deformities, and degenerative conditions requiring stability.

Artificial Disc Replacement

Replacement of damaged disc with artificial disc to maintain motion. Alternative to fusion for certain disc problems.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Advanced techniques using small incisions and specialized instruments. Reduces pain, hospital stay, and recovery time.

Spinal Instrumentation

Use of screws, rods, and plates to stabilize spine after surgery. Provides immediate stability and promotes fusion.

Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty

Minimally invasive procedures to treat spinal fractures by injecting bone cement to stabilize and relieve pain.

Spinal Tumor Surgery

Removal of benign and malignant spinal tumors. Requires specialized techniques to preserve neurological function.

Deformity Correction

Complex surgery to correct spinal deformities including scoliosis. Involves fusion and instrumentation for optimal outcomes.

When is spine surgery necessary?

When conservative treatment fails, neurological deficits occur, or spinal instability threatens spinal cord function.

What is the difference between fusion and disc replacement?

Fusion joins vertebrae together; disc replacement maintains motion. Choice depends on condition and patient factors.

How long does recovery take after spine surgery?

Varies by procedure. Minimally invasive: 2-4 weeks; complex fusion: 3-6 months. Full recovery may take up to a year.

Is spine surgery safe?

Yes, when performed by experienced surgeons. Risks include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, and anesthesia complications.

Can I avoid spine surgery?

Many conditions improve with conservative treatment including physical therapy, medications, and injections. Surgery is last resort.

What is minimally invasive spine surgery?

Surgery using small incisions and specialized instruments. Reduces pain, hospital stay, and recovery time compared to open surgery.

Will I need physical therapy after surgery?

Yes, physical therapy is essential for recovery, strengthening, and returning to normal activities after spine surgery.

Can spine surgery be repeated?

Sometimes necessary for adjacent level problems or complications. Each case is evaluated individually for best approach.

What are the risks of spine surgery?

Include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, failed fusion, and anesthesia risks. Risks are minimized with experienced surgical teams.
