Interlaminar implant –a U-shaped device is implanted between two vertebrae in your lower back to ease pressure on your spinal nerves by keeping the space between the vertebrae open.Like laminectomy, this is done to relieve pressure on a compressed nerve and ease pain. Foraminotomy – bones at the sides of your vertebrae is cut away to widen the space where nerves exit the spine.Disc replacement – your surgeon removes the damaged spinal disc and replaces it with an artificial one.Laminectomy – most commonly used for lumbar spinal stenosis, this surgery involves the removal of parts of the bone, ligaments, or bone spurs in the back to relieve pressure on spinal nerves and ease the pain.Discectomy – your surgeon removes part of or the entire disc that slips out of place presses on a spinal nerve, and cause back pain.Spinal fusion – during spinal fusion, your surgeon will join spinal bones (vertebrae) together to prevent pain caused by their movement against each other.Some of the most common types of spinal surgery are as follows: The type of surgery you will receive depends on your disease or injury, the location, the level of damage, as well as your own characteristics. There are numerous types of spinal surgery. Some common conditions that may require spinal surgery are spinal deformation, compression of the spinal cord, herniated discs, and tumors of the spinal cord, cauda equine syndrome, vertebral fractures, and degenerative disc disease. This is only considered when conservative, non-surgical treatments have not worked and the pain remains persistent, preventing patients from living a normal life and reducing their quality of life. Surgeons can move, fix, decompress, and, if necessary, replace vertebral structures through spinal surgery. Spinal surgery is any surgical procedure performed to correct possible structural abnormalities. ![]()
