Spinal Fusion Surgery
Spinal fusion surgery, also known as spondylosyndesis or spondylodesis, is a procedure that joins two or more vertebrae in the spine. The surgery stabilizes the vertebrae and reduces painful motion caused by joint-related issues, alleviating pain and improving mobility.

ECG
-
Blood tests
-
Imaging scans
Patients are advised to discontinue certain medications, such as blood thinners, at least two weeks prior to the procedure.
Surgical Procedure
The specific technique depends on the patient's condition and the surgeon's expertise, but the general steps include:-
1. Anesthesia and Positioning:The patient is positioned, and anesthesia is administered.
-
2. Accessing the Spine: A small incision is made to access the spine.
-
3. Bone Grafting:A bone graft is used to fuse the vertebrae. The graft can be taken from the patient or a donor.
-
4. Stabilization:Metallic screws, cages, or rods may be used to stabilize the spine and aid in the fusion process.
The surgery can be performed using:
-
Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF):Accessing the spine through the abdomen.
-
Posterior Fusion:Accessing the spine from the back.
Recovery and Postoperative Care
-
Hospital Stay:Patients typically stay in the hospital for 2-3 days.
-
Post-Surgery: A brace may be required during recovery. Pain is common but manageable with medications. Complete bed rest is not necessary.
-
Rehabilitation:Recovery may take a few months until the bone fully solidifies.
Risks and Complications
Minor complications include:-
Infection
-
Bleeding
-
Nerve or tissue injury
-
Blood clots
