Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that is used to rectify problems with the small bones in the spine (vertebrae). Spinal fusion could facilitate relieve symptoms of the many back issues, including:
INDICATIONS
A stepwise approach to this surgery is as follows
It can be given via three approaches and is chosen depending on specific case requirements.
In the case of Lumbar Fusion, if an anterior approach is adopted, an incision is given in the lower abdomen (lower part of the stomach).
In cases of Cervical Fusion, an incision is given in front of the neck.
In Minimally invasive techniques these fusions are performed with smaller incisions to minimise the wound size. The right procedure and approach vary from case to case.
2. BONE GRAFTING
All spinal fusions use some variety of bone material, called a bone graft, to help promote the fusion. Generally; small pieces of bone are placed into the space between the vertebrae to be fused.
One of the functions of the bone graft is to create a scaffold (a niche for cellular migration) and other is it promotes bone healing.
When the graft is taken from the patient itself, that type of graft is known as an autograft. The pelvic bone is the most common bone/area to harvest autograft from.
3. IMMOBILISATION
After bone grafting, Plates, screws, and rods are used to help hold the vertebrae together to help the fusion progress.
Wearing a brace (belt around the waist) may also be advised.
Q. Is spinal fusion surgery a form of major surgery?
Yes, it is major surgery. It is usually a last resort after other modalities of back pain reduction fail

Q. When can the patient resume gym after spinal fusion surgery?
Although light exercises and movements will be taught to you by your physiotherapist as well as my surgeon for complete healing, but you must refrain from all other kind of heavy exercises such as lifting weights and running
Q. When can the patient resume work after surgery?
