Spinal Fusion may be recommended when conservative treatments have not been effective. Common reasons include: back pain, leg weakness, spinal instability. Your doctor will evaluate your specific condition through physical examination and diagnostic tests to determine if this surgery is the right option for you.
Common Symptoms:
The surgeon accesses the spine from the front (anterior) or back (posterior). Bone grafts or synthetic bone substitutes are placed between the vertebrae. Metal plates, screws, or rods may be used to hold the vertebrae together while the bone graft heals and fuses the bones into one solid unit.
Before Spinal Fusion: 1) Complete all required pre-operative tests and evaluations, 2) Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements, 3) Follow fasting instructions (typically no food/drink after midnight before surgery), 4) Arrange for transportation and post-operative care at home, 5) Prepare your home for recovery with necessary supplies.
Hospital stay is 3-5 days. It takes several months for the bones to fuse completely. You may need to wear a brace. Physical therapy starts after initial healing to strengthen back muscles.
After Spinal Fusion: 1) Take prescribed medications as directed, 2) Keep the surgical site clean and dry, 3) Watch for signs of infection (increased pain, redness, fever, discharge), 4) Follow activity restrictions and gradually increase activity as advised, 5) Attend all follow-up appointments, 6) Contact your doctor immediately if you experience concerning symptoms.
As with any surgical procedure, Spinal Fusion carries potential risks including bleeding, infection, adverse reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, and procedure-specific complications. Your surgeon will discuss these risks in detail and take all necessary precautions to minimize them.
Note: All surgical procedures carry some level of risk. Your surgeon will discuss specific risks based on your individual health profile.
