Corpectomy is an operation to remove a portion of the vertebra and adjacent intervertebral discs for decompression of the spinal cord and spinal nerves. A bone graft or an interbody cage with or without a metal plate and screws is used to reconstruct the spine and provide stability. Indication for operation In some patients, the […]
Spinal Fusion is a neurosurgical or orthopedic surgical technique that joins two or more vertebrae. This procedure can be performed at any level in the spine (cervical, thoracic, or lumbar) and prevents any movement between the fused vertebrae. There are many types of spinal fusion and each technique involves using bone grafting—either from the patient […]
The posterior approach is the most common type of spinal surgery for scoliosis. The procedure involves posterior spinal instrumentation (the attachment of rods, hooks, and screws) combined with spinal fusion. In a posterior operation, the surgeon accesses the spinal column through the patient’s back.

The Prodisc-C total disc replacement has been determined to be safe and effective in the treatment of symptomatic cervical degenerative disc disease. The Prodisc-C total disc replacement surgery is intended to: Remove the diseased disc Decompress the neurological structures Restore normal disc height Preserve motion in affected vertebral segment Improve patient function Since December 2007 […]
Lumbar Laminectomy is a type of surgery in which a surgeon removes part or all of the vertebral bone (lamina). This helps ease pressure on the spinal cord or the nerve roots that may be caused by an injury A lumbar laminectomy is considered only after other medical treatments have not worked.
Lumbar Disc Replacement Surgery The goal of the LumbarDisc Replacement procedure is to restore the intervertebral disc height and neuroforaminal height while restoring physiologic motion (similar to that of a healthy disc) in that segment of the spine. The surgery requires complete removal of the unhealthy disc in order to implant the new artificial disc. […]
Laminoplasty is an alternative to laminectomy. Laminectomy is the removal of all of the lamina. Unlike laminectomy, laminoplasty surgery preserves spinal stability because the lamina is not removed. This may decrease the need for other procedures to stabilize the spine. It also helps maintain movement in your spine.
A cervical laminectomy is a surgical procedure designed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or spinal nerve by widening the spinal canal. During a cervical laminectomy, a small section of the bony roof of the spine, the lamina, is removed to create more space for the nerves.
