What will happen during the Spinal Fusion Procedure?

Spinal Fusion can be done in various ways. We will select the most effective method based on the specific bone that requires fusion, the purpose of the fusion, your overall health, and the shape of your body. The general process includes:

  • Access the area of the spine that requires surgery. Surgeons perform the surgery from your back or neck (posterior), stomach or throat area (anterior), or either side of the spine (lateral). They may also use a combination of these approaches.

  • Incision type can be minimally invasive or open

  • Arrange the bone graft or bone tissue. Surgeons obtain this from your own body, such as the pelvic area, or from a diseased donor. Sometimes artificial bone-like material is also used.

  • Fuse the spinal bones by inserting the bone graft material between the bones.

  • Metal plates, screws, or rods may be used to strengthen the fusion until the bone graft heals.

  • Additional steps are needed if performed along with other surgeries, like Vertebral Stabilisation Surgery. Then, the incision is closed with surgical staples or sutures.
