Medical professionals in India have recently given a new hope of life to
all those patients suffering from chronic lower back pain and who have not responded to physical therapy
or medical intervention. Most low back pain can be effectively managed with a variety of helpful
interventions. Like Physical therapy, weight loss, smoking cessation and medication injections.
In case the above treatments do not work, the best long-term outcome could be achieved with
a Lumbar Fusion.
Doctors at MedWorld India affiliated Hospitals in India have expertise
and vast experience in performing Spinal
Fusion - an Advanced minimally invasive surgery
is designed to stop the motion at a painful vertebral segment, which in
turn should decrease pain generated from the joint. A severely degenerated disc
between two vertebral bones or to a "slippage" of the spine bones
(which is referred to as "spondylolisthesis"). Slippage of the bones
results in misalignment of the spine and possible entrapment of the spinal
nerves.
There are many approaches to lumbar spinal fusion surgery, and all
involve adding bone graft to an area of the spine to set up a biological
response that causes the bone graft to grow between the two vertebral elements
and create a fusion, thereby stopping the motion at that segment. Other circumstances exist in which a fusion may best treat the source of
back and leg pain. A lumbar fusion may be recommended for diagnoses such as a
recurrent disc herniation, scoliosis or curvature of the spine, or for a
traumatic injury of the spine such as a fracture. All of these different
conditions can cause back and leg pain.
The procedure is performed in an advanced surgical center with Intra-operative
MRI guidance. The patient is monitored
with an electrocardiogram, blood pressure cuff and blood oxygen-monitoring
device.
Medical evaluation includes a physical exam. Diagnostic tests such as
MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), steroid injection or discography may be
conducted to diagnose and locate the symptomatic disc herniation and determine
if the procedure is appropriate.
