FAQ’s

These procedures are generally recommended for those patients who have weakened bones due to conditions like cancer or their vertebra collapse due to severe osteoporosis. These minimally invasive techniques are used to treat recent fractures and not as a preventive treatment or as a solution for other conditions like arthritis, herniated disks, etc. and are generally recommended only for older people.

Before the surgery, your doctor will require you to get X-rays, or MRI scans done to help locate the exact areas that need to be repaired. During the surgery, a hollow needle called a trocar is inserted by the surgeon, which is guided through to the correct position with the help of fluoroscopy.

Once the needle is in place, an inflatable balloon is inserted into it which is inflated to create space for the cement. After the space is opened up, the bone cement mixture is injected to fill up the space. Some soreness and pain after the surgery is common and will reduce in a few days.

At Manipal Hospitals, we have a team of highly qualified surgeons who have many years of surgical experience and ensure you have a successful surgery. Our spine specialists will recommend medications or supplements that will aid in bone strengthening and will also advise you on when you can resume your normal routine..

The doctor recommends cervical spine surgery for a variety of spinal neck problems, but generally, it is performed for degenerative disorders, trauma or instability. The conditions which are treated through cervical spine surgery are:

Degenerative Disc Disease: In this condition, the discs between the vertebrae shrink which causes wearing of the disc and leads to herniation. You may also have arthritic areas in the spine. It causes pain numbness, tingling, and weakness from the pressure of the spinal nerves.
Fracture: Broken spinal bone
Scoliosis: it is a medical condition in which a spine’s has a sideways curve
Spinal stenosis: It is defined as a narrowing of the spaces within the spine, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine.
Spondylolisthesis: It is a condition which affects the lower vertebrae.
Tumors or spine infection

The surgeon will ask you for some blood tests and spinal X-rays one week before the surgery. Make sure to get a list of the medicines you can or you can’t take before or after the surgery.

Cervical spine surgery is performed to treat either spinal cord impingement or spinal instability.
The surgeon can reach the cervical spine from the front (anterior approach) or the back (posterior approach).
The surgeon makes the incision and moves the muscles and structures to the side to see the spine. The joints or joints between the damaged or inflamed disks are removed. Pieces of bone, screws or rods are used to connect the discs and keep them from moving. The surgery usually takes several hours.

After surgery, the doctor will ask you to stay at the hospital for 4-5 days. your Stay usually depends on your general fitness level and if you any other medical conditions. Physical therapists and occupational therapists will teach you how to get out of bed, into a chair, and walk again. After ten days surgeon will remove your stitches and will call you for follow-up appointments. It takes around six months to a year to fully heal.

Depending on the extent of the surgery, the patient stays in the hospital for 4 or 5 days. Like any other surgery, the discomfort caused by the incision is normal. To ease the pain, the doctor will prescribe pain killer. Applying ice on the incision 3-4 times a day for about 15-20 minutes will help in reducing the pain and swelling.

Rehabilitation can take time and will mostly include a program of physical therapy. A physical therapist will help the patient progress at a faster pace. With the help of a series of exercises, physical therapy helps the patient regain movement in the spine. You can trust Manipal Hospitals for this. Manipal Hospitals adopts unique and customized programs to promote or enhance recovery, health, and wellness that fit each patient’s needs and helps individuals realize their fullest potential but the duration of physical therapy depends on the patient’s health, and how motivated he/she is to recover from the surgery.

The patient is advised to wear the brace at all times and avoid any strenuous physical activity. He/she can start the deck work after 3-4 weeks.
