Types of Spine SurgeryÂ
- Spinal Fusion: This surgical procedure involves strategically removing the spinal disc from the spinal cord and combining two or more vertebrae through bone grafting or, in rare instances, utilizing a metal implant.Â
- Artificial Disc Replacement: This procedure replaces the damaged disc with a prosthetic one that restores height and movement to replicate the identical functions of the damaged disc.Â
- Plasma Disc Decompression: Sometimes referred to as nucleoplasty, is a minimally invasive laser-assisted procedure that uses radio frequency to treat herniated discs and reduce the disc size.Â
- Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty: These procedures address deep compression fractures observed in osteoporosis by injecting glue-like bone cement that hardens and imparts rigidity to the vertebrae.Â
- Foraminotomy: This surgery prevents disc or joint expansion by extending the spine column where the tuft of nerves exits the spinal canal, which normally expands with age. This relieves pressure on previously compressed nerves.Â
- Laminectomy: Performed on patients with spinal stenosis when a spinal canal begins to narrow, relieving pressure on the nerves and causing pain.Â
- Discectomy or Microdiscectomy: Eliminates the pressure accumulating on the spinal cord and the herniated disc.Â

How is Spinal Surgery Performed?
The treatment site is operated with a long, open surgical approach, enabling the surgeon to view and access the surgical space. If the procedure is minimally invasive, the spine surgeon makes small incisions to get into the spine and guide the instruments and/or microscopic video cameras. Some of the common minimally invasive techniques include percutaneous endoscopic surgery, full endoscopic surgery, thoracoscopic access surgery, and surgery through a tubular retractor.Â
