Spine Surgeries
Spine surgeries encompass a wide range of procedures aimed at addressing various spinal conditions and disorders, including degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spinal deformities, spinal fractures, and spinal cord compression. At Apple Hospitals, we offer advanced spine surgery options performed by experienced spine surgeons utilizing state-of-the-art techniques and technologies to alleviate pain, restore spinal function, and improve overall quality of life for patients.
Key Highlights of Spine Surgeries at Apple Hospitals:
Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnosis: Patients with spinal conditions undergo a thorough evaluation, including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging studies such as X-rays, MRI scans, and CT scans. Our spine specialists utilize advanced imaging modalities and diagnostic tests to accurately diagnose the underlying cause of spinal disorders and formulate personalized treatment plans.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS): Minimally invasive spine surgery techniques are employed whenever possible to minimize tissue damage, reduce postoperative pain, and expedite recovery. Procedures such as microdiscectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion, and vertebroplasty are performed using small incisions, specialized instruments, and real-time imaging guidance to target the affected area precisely.
Vertebral Augmentation: For patients with vertebral compression fractures due to osteoporosis or trauma, vertebral augmentation procedures such as kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are offered to stabilize fractured vertebrae, relieve pain, and restore vertebral height and alignment. These minimally invasive techniques involve the injection of bone cement into the fractured vertebra under fluoroscopic guidance.
Complex Spine Reconstruction: In cases of severe spinal deformities, spinal instability, or complex spinal disorders, our spine surgeons perform complex spine reconstruction surgeries to realign the spine, stabilize the affected segments, and restore spinal balance and function. Procedures such as spinal fusion with instrumentation, spinal osteotomies, and deformity correction techniques may be utilized to achieve optimal surgical outcomes.
Disc Replacement Surgery: For patients with symptomatic disc degeneration or herniated discs, disc replacement surgery offers an alternative to traditional spinal fusion procedures. Artificial disc implants are used to replace damaged intervertebral discs, preserve spinal motion, and alleviate pain while maintaining segmental stability and flexibility.
Revision Spine Surgery: In cases where previous spinal surgeries have failed to achieve the desired outcomes or complications have arisen, revision spine surgery may be necessary to address residual symptoms, correct deformities, or manage recurrent spinal conditions. Our spine surgeons have expertise in performing revision procedures with meticulous attention to detail and patient safety.
Multidisciplinary Care Approach: Spine surgery at Apple Hospitals involves a multidisciplinary care approach, with collaboration among spine surgeons, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, pain management specialists, physical therapists, and rehabilitation experts. This integrated approach ensures comprehensive preoperative evaluation, optimal surgical planning, and coordinated postoperative care to maximize patient outcomes and satisfaction.
Patient Education and Support: Patient education and support are integral components of the spine surgery journey. Our healthcare team provides patients and their families with comprehensive information about the surgical procedure, expected outcomes, potential risks, and postoperative rehabilitation protocols to empower them to make informed decisions and actively participate in their care.
Through our commitment to excellence, innovation, and patient-centered care, Apple Hospitals strives to deliver superior spine surgery services that address the unique needs of each patient, restore spinal function, and improve overall quality of life. Our experienced spine surgeons, advanced treatment modalities, and compassionate approach ensure that patients receive the highest standard of care and achieve optimal outcomes in their spine surgery experience.
