SPINE SURGERY
(DISCS, INJURIES)
Spine Surgery at RR Hospitals
Comprehensive Surgical Solutions for Cervical, Dorsolumbar, and Lumbar Spine Disorders
Your spine is the backbone—both literally and figuratively—of your mobility and structural stability. Spinal disorders can lead to chronic pain, nerve compression, disability, and even life-threatening complications if left untreated. At RR Hospitals, our Spine Surgery Department offers advanced surgical care for disorders affecting the cervical (neck), dorsolumbar (mid-back), and lumbar (lower back) regions.
Our experienced team of neurosurgeons, orthopedic spine surgeons, pain specialists, and rehabilitation experts deliver personalized and minimally invasive solutions using modern diagnostics, surgical precision, and holistic post-operative care.
Understanding Spine Conditions We Treat
Spinal issues can develop due to age, injury, degenerative changes, infection, tumors, or deformities. At RR Hospitals, we offer surgical care for a wide range of spine conditions, including:
Common Causes of Sciatica:
- Herniated or slipped discs
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of spinal canal)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spondylolisthesis (slipping of one vertebra over another)
- Spinal fractures due to trauma or osteoporosis
- Spinal tumors (benign or malignant)
- Spinal infections (discitis, TB of spine)
- Spinal deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis)
- Spinal instability or nerve compression
Region-Specific Spine Surgeries
1. Cervical Spine Surgery (Neck Region)
The cervical spine supports your head and allows flexible neck movement. Disorders in this region can cause neck pain, arm numbness, or weakness.
Common Procedures:
- Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF): Removal of herniated disc followed by stabilization with fusion.
- Cervical Laminoplasty or Laminectomy: Widening the spinal canal to relieve nerve pressure.
- Cervical Disc Replacement: Artificial disc insertion to maintain motion and flexibility.
Posterior Cervical Fusion: Used in cases of instability or severe compression.
2. Dorsolumbar Spine Surgery (Mid to Lower Back)
The thoracic and upper lumbar spine controls posture and protects internal organs. Conditions here often require careful intervention.0
Common Procedures:
- Decompression Surgery (Laminectomy/Laminotomy): Relieves pressure from nerves due to stenosis or disc bulges.
- Spinal Fusion: Stabilizes spine after decompression or trauma.
- Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty: Cement injection to stabilize vertebral fractures (often due to osteoporosis).
- Tumor Excision: For spinal cord or vertebral body tumors.
- Correction of Scoliosis or Kyphosis: Using rods, screws, and instrumentation.
3. Lumbar Spine Surgery (Lower Back)
The lumbar spine carries most of the body’s weight and is prone to disc degeneration and nerve compression (sciatica).
Common Procedures:
- Microdiscectomy: Removal of a small portion of the disc to relieve nerve pressure.
- Laminectomy: Removal of part of the vertebral bone for decompression.
- Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF): Disc removal and insertion of cage/implant with bone graft for stability.
- Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS): Smaller incisions, less pain, and quicker recovery.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)
Whenever possible, our surgeons prefer minimally invasive techniques that preserve healthy tissue, reduce blood loss, and allow faster recovery.
Benefits of MISS:
- Smaller incisions
- Less muscle damage
- Reduced infection risk
- Shorter hospital stays
- Quicker return to daily life
Using endoscopic tools, tubular retractors, and intraoperative imaging, our surgeons perform precise procedures with excellent outcomes.
Advanced Spine Surgery Technology at RR Hospitals
We are equipped with cutting-edge tools to ensure precision and safety in every procedure:
- Intraoperative C-arm/Fluoroscopy for real-time imaging
- High-definition operating microscopes for enhanced visualization
- Neuro-navigation systems for accurate localization
- Spinal implants, cages, and pedicle screw systems
- Neuro-monitoring equipment to track nerve function during surgery
Comprehensive Spine Surgery Care
At RR Hospitals, surgery is not just about removing or correcting—it’s about complete spinal rehabilitation.
Pre-Surgical Planning
- Thorough clinical evaluation and imaging
- Multidisciplinary discussion (orthopedic + neuro team)
- Patient education and risk-benefit counseling
Post-Surgical Care
- Monitoring in dedicated spine recovery unit or ICU
- Pain management
- Physiotherapy for strength and mobility restoration
- Regular follow-ups with imaging and neurological exams
Rehabilitation & Recovery
Our rehab team works closely with surgeons to create individualized recovery plans, focusing on:
- Strengthening spinal support muscles
- Restoring flexibility and posture
- Reducing stiffness and pain
- Preventing recurrence
When is Spine Surgery Recommended?
Not all back or neck pain needs surgery. At RR Hospitals, surgery is advised only when:
- Non-surgical treatments have failed after 6–8 weeks
- There is progressive weakness or numbness
- Pain is disabling and affects quality of life
- There is spinal instability or deformity
- MRI/CT shows nerve or cord compression
- There is bladder/bowel involvement (emergency)
Our team ensures you undergo surgery only when it’s the safest and most effective option.
