Spinal Fusion Surgery in India

September 5, 2007

What are the Reasons for Spinal Fusion Surgery?

Lumbar fusion surgery may be indicated for a variety of lumbar spine problems. Generally, lumbar spine problems are first treated conservatively. Then, if low back pain, numbness, tingling or weakness in the legs does not improve, some individuals may be candidates for lumbar spine fusion surgery. The most common reason for surgery is leg pain or sciatica. This pain may be the result of a herniated lumber disc causing pressure on one or more of the spinal nerves. Leg pain may also be caused by abnormal motion of the vertebrae.

What Conditions are treated with Spinal Fusion Surgery?

Spondylolisthesis :


In this condition one vertebra has slipped forward over another. If the vertebra continues to slip back and forth, the spinal nerves may be affected, causing leg pain, numbness, tingling and/or weakness. A spinal fusion may be recommended to stop this abnormal motion.

Degenerative Disc Disease :


In degenerative disc disease, the discs or cushion pads between the vertebrae shrink, which can cause abnormal motion and possibly an unstable area in spine. As a result, the vertebrae may compress the spinal nerves, leading to leg pain

Arthritis:


Severe arthritis of the spine is called spinal stenosis. As the body ages, worn vertebrae and discs may develop bony spurs, which may cause stenosis, or narrowing of the openings for the spinal cord and nerves. These spurs irritate the spinal nerve roots and cause pain, numbness, tingling or weakness down the legs. Sometimes this condition requires lumbar fusion surgery to stabilize the spine, and prevent abnormal motion after pressure on the spinal nerves is removed.A spinal fusion surgery is designed to stop the motion at a painful vertebral segment, which in turn should decrease pain generated from the joint. All lumbar spinal fusion surgery involves adding bone graft to an area of the spine to set up a biological response that causes the bone graft to grow between the two vertebral elements and thereby stop the motion at that segment. For patients with the following conditions, abnormal and excessive motion at a vertebral segment may result in pain:

  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Isthmic, degenerative or postlaminectomy spondylolisthesis.

Other conditions that may be treated by a spinal fusion surgery include a weak or unstable spine (caused by infections or tumors), fractures, scoliosis or deformity.
