Spine Surgery

Spine Care at Arathana Hospital

At Arathana Hospital, we prioritize non-surgical treatments for back pain and consider surgery only when necessary. In most cases, we recommend 3 to 6 months of conservative therapy before considering surgical intervention. However, emergencies may require immediate surgery.

Common Spine Surgeries We Perform

1. Discectomy

✅ Removes a portion of a herniated disc pressing on nerves.
✅ Relieves pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs or arms.

2. Foramenotomy

✅ Removes bone or tissue compressing a nerve as it exits the spine.
✅ Provides relief from nerve pain due to spinal narrowing.

3. Laminectomy

✅ Removes part of the vertebra (lamina) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord.
✅ Used for conditions like spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis.
✅ Often combined with spinal fusion for stability.

4. Spinal Fusion

✅ Permanently joins two or more vertebrae to eliminate movement-related pain.
✅ Used for conditions like spondylolisthesis or severe spinal instability.

5. Spinal Disc Replacement

✅ A modern alternative to spinal fusion, preserving spinal flexibility.
✅ Used to treat chronic back pain while maintaining movement.

Specialized Spine Treatments

6. Scoliosis Correction

✅ Treats sideways spine curvature ("S" or "C" shape).
✅ Helps improve posture, balance, and spinal function.

7. Cervical Spine Surgery

✅ Treats nerve/spinal cord compression (decompression surgery).
✅ Corrects spinal instability (fusion surgery).
✅ May involve spinal plates or screws for added stability.

8. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)

✅ Uses small incisions for faster recovery and minimal tissue damage.
✅ Less pain, reduced hospital stay, and quicker return to daily activities.

9. Endoscopic Spine Surgery

✅ A highly advanced technique using a tiny camera for precise surgical intervention.
✅ Effective for herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and nerve compression.
