Spine Surgery

What is Spine Surgery?

Spine surgery is a branch of medicine that includes the surgical treatment of diseases, injuries and deformities in the spine and spinal cord. Spine surgery aims to relieve pain, provide spinal stability, and allow patients to return to their daily living activities. This branch of surgery is used to treat conditions such as spinal disc diseases, scoliosis, spinal fractures and spinal cord compression.

Scope of Spine Surgery

• Disc Herniation (Waist and Cervical Herniation): It is a condition that causes pain by putting pressure on the nerve roots as a result of the slipping or herniation of the discs between the vertebrae. It is treated with microsurgery or endoscopic surgical methods.
• Scoliosis: It is a spinal deformity characterized by lateral curvature of the spine. Scoliosis surgery is performed to straighten and stabilize the spine.
• Spinal Fractures: Spinal fractures caused by reasons such as trauma or osteoporosis disrupt spinal stability and may cause nerve damage. Surgical intervention includes correction of fractures and stabilization of the spine.
• Spinal Canal Stenosis: It is a condition in which the pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots increases as a result of the narrowing of the spinal canal. It is treated with surgical methods such as laminectomy or foraminotomy.
• Spondylolisthesis: It is a condition characterized by one vertebra sliding forward relative to the other. Surgical intervention involves aligning and stabilizing the vertebrae.
• Spinal Tumors: Benign or malignant tumors occurring in the spine and spinal cord are removed by surgical intervention. These operations aim to prevent the spread of tumors and nerve damage.
• Infections: Spinal infections are treated with surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy.

The Importance of Spine Surgery

Spine surgery aims to improve patients’ quality of life and enable them to return to normal functions by treating serious health problems in the spine and spinal cord. These surgeries relieve pain, provide spinal stability, and prevent nerve damage. Additionally, correction of spinal deformities improves patients’ physical appearance and overall health.

Technologies Used in Spine Surgery

• Microsurgery: Microsurgical techniques used in spine surgery are performed through small incisions and cause minimal tissue damage. This method results in faster recovery time and less pain.
• Endoscopic Surgery: Endoscopic surgery is a technique performed through small incisions and special tools called endoscopes. This method is used in the treatment of conditions such as disc herniation and spinal canal stenosis.
• Robotic Surgery: Robotic systems allow surgeons to perform more precise and controlled operations. Robotic surgery provides fewer complications and faster recovery in spine surgery.
• Fusion Surgery: It is a method used to fuse and stabilize the vertebrae. This surgery is used to treat conditions such as spinal fractures, spondylolisthesis and degenerative disc disease.
• Disc Prosthesis: It is the process of replacing damaged discs with artificial discs. This method relieves pain by preserving spinal mobility.

Rehabilitation After Spine Surgery

Rehabilitation after spine surgery is important to speed up the recovery process of patients and prevent post-surgical complications. The rehabilitation process includes a variety of services such as physical therapy, exercise programs, pain management and psychological support. This process helps patients return to normal life activities and maintain spinal health.
