Spinal Decompression Surgery
Spinal decompression surgery is a procedure aimed at relieving pain caused by compression of the spinal nerves. This surgery is recommended for patients whose symptoms persist despite medications or physical therapy.
Diagnosis
Before the surgery, the patient undergoes a thorough evaluation, which includes a general health check-up and diagnostic tests such as blood tests, MRI, X-rays, CT scans, and myelograms, to assess the severity of the condition and the patient's suitability for surgery.
Types of Spinal Decompression Surgery
- 1. Microdiscectomy: This procedure involves the removal of a small portion of the disc to alleviate pressure on the affected nerve.
- 2. Lumbar Laminectomy: In this procedure, a small part of the lamina and ligaments above the spinal canal are removed to decompress one side of the canal.
- 3. Laminotomy: The surgeon uses robotic arms to control surgical instruments and remove the damaged parts of the knee. The robotic system ensures sub-millimeter precision, allowing the surgeon to replace the damaged components with new implants.
