SPINE SURGERIES
Cervical Spine Disorders
Cervical spine disorders refer to a range of conditions that affect the seven vertebrae and the surrounding tissues in the neck region of the spine. These disorders can result from injuries, degenerative changes, or spine structure abnormalities. Common cervical spine disorders include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, cervical spondylosis, and cervical radiculopathy. Symptoms can vary widely but may include neck pain, stiffness, and arm or hand weakness. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medication, and surgery, depending on the severity of the condition.
Thoracic Spine Disorders
Thoracic spine disorder is a medical condition that impacts the twelve vertebrae in the middle of the spine, referred to as the thoracic region. This disorder can arise from various factors, such as trauma, degenerative changes, scoliosis, or osteoporosis. Common thoracic spine disorders include herniated discs, kyphosis, thoracic outlet syndrome, and compression fractures. Symptoms of thoracic spine disorder may include back pain, stiffness, numbness, weakness in the arms or legs, and difficulty breathing. Poor posture and prolonged periods of sitting can also contribute to this condition.
Lumber Spine Disorders
Lumbar disc disease occurs when a disc in the lower back region of the spine bulges or herniates from between the bony structures of the spine. This condition can cause lower back pain, leg pain, and weakness, worsening with movement and physical activity. On the other hand, lumbar spinal stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal narrows in the lower back region. This narrowing can compress the spinal cord or nerves that connect the spinal cord to the muscles. While spinal stenosis can occur in any part of the spine, it is most commonly found in the lower back region.
Scolliocis Surgery
Scoliosis is a medical condition characterised by an abnormal curvature of the spine. Typically, the spine has natural curves that enable it to bend forward and backward. However, it should not have a sideways slant. When scoliosis occurs, the spine may curve in an S or C shape, causing the body to tilt to one side. The severity of scoliosis can vary from mild to severe, depending on the degree of curvature. Congenital disabilities, neuromuscular disorders, or injuries can sometimes cause scoliosis. Minimally invasive scoliosis surgery is an effective treatment option for this condition as this type of surgery involves making smaller incisions compared to open surgery
Adult Spine Surgery
Adult spinal deformities can result from various conditions, including degenerative disc disease, osteoporosis, scoliosis, or trauma. These conditions can disrupt the normal structural support of the spinal column, leading to an imbalance. Abnormal curvatures in the sagittal plane, such as kyphosis or lordosis, can cause the patient's front or back to become unbalanced. Similarly, abnormal curvatures in the coronal plane, such as scoliosis, can cause the patient's right or left side to become unstable. Adult spine surgery is a treatment option for patients with spinal deformities that cause chronic pain or neurological symptoms. This surgery is done by the most experienced spine specialists in Pune and aims to correct the deformity, reduce pain, and improve function.
Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS) is a surgical technique that aims to stabilise the vertebral bones and spinal joints while reducing pressure on the spinal nerves. This approach treats spinal instability, bone spurs, ruptured discs, scoliosis, or spinal malignancies. Highly specialised spine surgeons perform the procedure, which can be quicker, safer, and less painful than open spine surgery. One of the significant advantages of MIS is that it minimises damage to the muscles and soft tissues, resulting in less blood loss, scarring, and a shorter recovery period. In addition, the smaller incisions used in MIS reduce the risk of infection and postoperative complications, allowing patients to return to their normal activities more quickly.

Spine problems can arise due to various factors, including injuries from falls or accidents, infections such as meningitis, blocked blood supply to the spine, and spinal cord or nerve compression caused by a fractured bone or a tumour.
