Low Back Procedures
(Lumbar)
Microdiscectomy is a surgical procedure that is performed to remove a herniated disc that is compressing the spinal cord or nerve roots. The goal of the procedure is to provide relief and improve the patient’s quality of life.
Minimally invasive laminotomy and foraminotomy are surgical procedures used to alleviate pressure on the nerves in the vertebral canal. By enlarging the tunnel through which the nerves travel, these procedures help to decompress the pressure in the canal and reduce pain and discomfort.
Lumbar Decompression, Fusion & Instrumentation is a surgical procedure that is performed to alleviate chronic pain and pressure on the spinal cord and nerves in the lower back. This technique has been proven to be effective in treating various conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease.
Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF) is a modern surgical technique that aims to treat spinal disorders in a minimally invasive manner. This innovative approach has gained popularity due to its effectiveness and the reduced risks and complications associated with it.
Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) is a surgical procedure that involves fusing together the lumbar spine bones, using an approach from the front of the body through the abdominal region. This type of spinal fusion is commonly recommended for patients with collapsed disc spaces, as well as for those who need to restore the normal curvature of their lumbar spine. ALIF is a preferred surgical technique for many patients because it offers a high success rate and can help improve mobility and reduce pain.
TLIF or Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion is a modern surgical technique used in spinal fusion. It is performed to alleviate the sharp pain that results from compressed nerve roots, a common occurrence in spinal conditions. The procedure involves decompression and stabilization of the affected area, which in turn, promotes healing and provides long-lasting relief from the pain.
If you have undergone lumbar spine surgery in the past but still experience symptoms that affect your daily routine, you may need to consider revision surgery. This type of surgery can help address persistent issues and improve your overall quality of life. It’s important to consult with your doctor to determine if revision surgery is the right option for you.
The Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) is a medical device that is implanted under your skin to help alleviate pain. This device sends a gentle electric current to your spinal cord through thin wires that are connected to a pulse generator. By stimulating the nerves in the area where the pain is felt, the SCS can help provide relief.
