At CSH Dubai, we are committed to providing exceptional care for patients requiring spine surgery. Our team of highly skilled neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons is dedicated to delivering the best possible outcomes for our patients. With a wealth of experience and expertise, our surgeons are adept at performing a wide range of spine surgeries, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.
Spine surgery encompasses a variety of procedures aimed at addressing different spinal conditions. These surgeries can range from minimally invasive techniques, which offer quicker recovery times, to more extensive procedures that may require longer recovery periods. The choice of surgery depends on the specific condition being treated, as well as the patient's overall health and lifestyle.
Our team at CSH Dubai is proficient in performing several types of spine surgeries, each designed to address specific spinal issues:
Artificial Disk Replacement: This procedure involves replacing a damaged or degenerated spinal disk with an artificial one. It is typically performed through an incision in the abdomen for lumbar disk replacement or the neck for cervical disk replacement. The goal is to maintain spine mobility and reduce pain.
Corpectomy: This surgery involves the removal of a vertebral body, often due to spinal tumors, fractures, or severe disk degeneration. It is usually part of a procedure to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves and often requires stabilization with spinal fusion.
Diskectomy: A diskectomy involves the removal of a herniated or damaged disk to relieve pressure on spinal nerves. This procedure can be performed through a traditional open surgery or a minimally invasive approach, known as microdiscectomy.
Foraminotomy: This procedure involves enlarging the foramen, the passage through which spinal nerves exit the spinal column, to relieve nerve compression. It can be done alone or in combination with other procedures.
Laminectomy: Also known as decompression surgery, a laminectomy involves removing the lamina, the back part of the vertebra, to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. It is commonly used to treat spinal stenosis.
Nucleoplasty: This minimally invasive procedure uses a needle-like device to apply radiofrequency energy or cold therapy to the disk, reducing its size and relieving pressure on the nerves.
Spinal Fusion: This surgery permanently connects two or more vertebrae, eliminating motion between them. It is often used to treat spinal instability, scoliosis, or a herniated disk.
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty: These minimally invasive procedures treat painful, compressed vertebrae due to fractures. Vertebroplasty involves injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebra, while kyphoplasty uses a balloon to create space before filling it with cement.
Spine surgery can offer numerous benefits, including:
Improved mobility and function
Reduced pain and discomfort
Enhanced quality of life
Lower risk of future spinal issues
