Lumbar Spine Surgery in Dubai

Lumbar decompression surgery aims to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord and/or nerves in the lower back region. 

This can involve removing bone or tissue to widen the spinal canal or foramen, reducing pressure on nerves and alleviating symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness.

Minimally invasive lumbar decompression utilizes small incisions and specialised tools to help conditions like spinal stenosis or herniated discs, offering patients relief and improved mobility while minimizing surgical impact.

Lumbar microdiscectomy is a surgical procedure employed to treat herniated discs in the lumbar spine that are causing nerve compression and related symptoms. 

Removing the herniated disc fragment in this minimally invasive procedure creates space for the nerve to heal, alleviating inflammation and pain.

Lumbar laminectomy involves removing all or part of the lamina (the back part of the vertebra) to create more space within the spinal canal. 

By surgically removing part or all of the lamina, the surgeon creates more space within the spinal canal, reducing pressure, improving mobility and alleviating symptoms, such as pain or weakness in the lower back.

Lumbar spinal fusion, or back fusion surgery, stabilizes the spine by joining two or more vertebrae using bone grafts and screws and rods. 

It is used to treat conditions like spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, and spinal fractures. 

Minimally invasive spinal fusion techniques involve smaller incisions and specialised instruments, which minimize tissue damage, reduce postoperative pain, and promote faster recovery. This approach helps maintain spinal stability and alleviates symptoms, improving patients’ quality of life.

Facet arthroplasty, or total facet replacement, involves replacing a damaged or diseased facet joint in the spine with an artificial joint. 

Facet arthroplasty aims to preserve spinal motion and flexibility while reducing pain and improving overall spinal function. 

By replacing the affected facet joint with an artificial implant, patients experience relief from symptoms such as back pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility caused by facet joint arthritis or degeneration.

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a minimally invasive surgery in which a small device is implanted near the spinal cord to alleviate chronic back pain.

This device emits electrical pulses to the spinal nerves, blocking pain signals before they reach the brain. 

By modulating pain signals at the source, SCS provides long-lasting pain relief and allows patients to resume daily activities with reduced reliance on pain medications.

Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are typically employed for severe, functionally disabling pain from a vertebral fracture that hasn’t improved with pain medication and lumbar bracing over several weeks.

In both procedures, bone cement similar to glue is injected into the fractured vertebra through small, minimally invasive incisions guided by X-ray fluoroscopy.

Artificial disk replacement lumbar surgery, or total back disk replacement, is a surgical procedure used to treat degenerative disc disease or other disc-related conditions in the lumbar spine.

During the procedure, a damaged or diseased spinal disc is removed and replaced with an artificial disc implant.

The artificial disc is crafted to replicate the natural structure and function of a healthy spinal disc, preserving spinal motion and flexibility while reducing pain and improving overall spinal function. 

Robot-assisted lumbar surgery involves using robotic technology to assist the surgeon in performing precise movements during spinal procedures. 

This technique involves smaller incisions and less tissue disruption, reducing pain and faster recovery. It is used for various surgeries, including decompressions, fusions, and disk replacements. 

Robotic back surgery improves outcomes and minimizes risks by providing greater accuracy and control, offering patients a more effective, minimally invasive treatment option.
