SPINAL FUSION SURGERY in Hackensack

WHAT IS SPINAL FUSION?
The bones of your adult spine consist of 26 moveable joints. When these bones rub together or slip out of place, it causes pain and instability. If your back pain isn’t relieved by other forms of treatment, your doctor may recommend spinal fusion. During this procedure, your doctor attaches two or more vertebrae together to permanently stop movement between them, which prevents pain at the joint level.

To obtain the most effective back pain treatment, you must first obtain an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your pain so you can receive the best treatment. Consult New Jersey’s top spine specialists at Premier Brain & Spine for the best back pain diagnosis and treatment.

HOW IS SPINAL FUSION SURGERY DONE?

One your NJ spine surgeon determines the best point of entry, the fusion surgery begins. Spinal fusion surgery involves using a type of bone material called a bone graft. A bone graft may be taken from your body, which is known as an autograft, or from a donor body, which is called an allograft.

The steps of the procedure include:

  1. You’re given general anesthesia.
  2. An incision is made to access the vertebrae being fused.
  3. If your own bone is being used for the bone graft, a small part of bone is removed from another area of your body, usually the pelvis, and that incision is closed.
  4. Muscles and tissue are pulled aside to expose your spine.
  5. The damaged disc is removed, and the bone graft material is placed in the interbody space between vertebrae, where the disc used to be.
  6. The vertebrae may be held together using screws, plates, rods or cages, which are also called interbody devices. These devices stabilize your spine while the fusion grows together.

The procedure usually takes three to four hours. The bone graft stimulates new bone to grow around the interbody device, which eventually leads to the two vertebrae healing together into one continuous bone.

WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINAL FUSION?

At one time, spinal fusion was major surgery that involved a lengthy operation. Minimally invasive techniques have been developed that now allow your surgeon to use 3D technology and tiny instruments.

A minimally invasive approach provides several advantages, such as:

  • Smaller incisions
  • Less bleeding or scarring
  • Less post-operative pain
  • A lower risk of infection
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Faster recovery times

The sacroiliac joint is the point where the base of your spine connects to your pelvis. As many as 30 percent of cases of low back pain come from this joint. Your doctor may recommend sacroiliac joint fusion surgery if you have instability or significant pain in your pelvis or lower back area. Minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion surgery stops excessive motion of the joint and reduces pain with a less extensive recovery process than traditional open surgery.
