Types of Spine Surgery

Discectomy: This procedure involves removing all or part of a herniated disc that is pressing against spinal nerves, relieving pain in the back and leg and restoring nerve function.

Spinal Fusion: This surgery joins two or more vertebrae together using bone grafts or implants to stabilise the spine, often performed to treat spinal instability, degenerative disc disease, or deformities.

Laminectomy: It involves removing the back part of a vertebra (lamina) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves caused by conditions like spinal stenosis, tumours, or discs.

Artificial Disc Replacement: It involves removing a damaged disc and replacing it with an artificial disc to preserve motion in the spine.

Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty: These minimally invasive procedures involve injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebrae to stabilise the spine and relieve pain caused by compression fractures.
