Lumbar spinal fusion permanently joins two or more vertebrae in the lower back to eliminate painful motion at a damaged segment. The surgeon uses bone graft, screws, and rods to stabilize the spine while the vertebrae fuse into solid bone over 3-6 months. It treats degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, and fractures.
Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove the portion of a herniated disc pressing on a spinal nerve. Through a 1-inch incision, the surgeon uses a microscope to precisely remove the disc fragment causing sciatica (leg pain, numbness, or weakness). One of the most successful spine surgeries with 85-95% relief of leg symptoms.
