Best Spine Surgery Doctors

When a spinal condition is detected or suspected, the primary care physician will usually refer the patient to an orthopedic spine surgeon or neurosurgeon for further diagnosis and treatment. Both doctors consider themselves to be the spine specialists. Both perform complex spine surgeries and can provide excellent care. However, there are some differences that an individual needs to understand in order to get the right care.

The main difference between orthopedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons is training. A neurosurgeon is trained to treat conditions of the brain and spine, while an orthopedic surgeon specializes in treating the spine problems.

Spine surgeons offer surgery and surgical treatment to patients of all ages, although some focus on treating children (pediatric) and some on treating adults. Some orthopedic spine surgeons specifically treat certain problems with the spine, such as scoliosis, degenerative disorders, or a specific area of the spine (cervical / neck, lumbar / lower back). Whereas neurosurgeons are trained to treat the problems of both brain and spinal cord conditions such as aneurysms, blocked arteries, chronic low back pain, birth defects, brain and spinal cord tumors, and peripheral nerve problems.

There is a risk of damaging the spine or the nerves. All spine surgeries carry certain risks, including bleeding, infection, anesthesia, and death. The lumbar spine surgery is unlikely to relieve the symptoms. And even if it gets better with surgery, the patient may have new symptoms in the future. It is always preferred to have follow-up visits with the doctor after the surgery and take necessary precautions to avoid any such post-surgery complications.

The spine is the major part of the nervous system in the body, but that doesn’t mean that every spine surgery is a major procedure. Spine surgeries are minimally invasive, which means the surgeon makes a few small incisions rather than large incisions. In general, these procedures are faster and require less time to recover than major surgeries. They also do not cause scarring and have a lower risk of infection or postoperative pain.

Like all surgical procedures, spine surgery also carries certain potential risks such as:

• Recurrent or continuing symptoms even after the surgery
• Infection at the site of incision
• Blood clots
• Dural tear
• Leakage of cerebrospinal fluid
• Facial sores and loss of vision
• Nerve injury and paralysis
• Sometimes death
