Open Spine Surgeries
Open spine surgery is a type of surgical procedure that involves making a large incision in the skin to access the spine. These procedures are typically performed when other, less invasive techniques are not appropriate or have not been successful in treating the condition.
Open spine surgery may be used to treat a variety of conditions affecting the spine, including:
• Herniated discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Spinal stenosis
• Spondylolisthesis
• Scoliosis
• Spinal fractures
• Spinal tumors
During the procedure, the surgeon will make an incision in the skin and carefully move the muscles and tissues aside to access the spine. They will then perform the necessary surgery, which may involve removing damaged or diseased tissue, repairing or reconstructing damaged structures, or stabilizing the spine.
Open spine surgery can be a complex and lengthy procedure, and recovery may take several weeks or months. It's important to follow the surgeon's instructions and attend physical therapy sessions as recommended to ensure the best possible outcome.
