What is spinal fusion surgery?

If the cause of your back pain seems to be motion between segments
of your vertebrae, spinal fusion may be a way to prevent motion and
stop     the   pain.    Spinal    fusion   surgery,    also   known
as spondylodesis or spondylosyndesis, is a surgical technique used
to combine two or more vertebrae. Spinal fusion is surgery to fuse
spine bones (vertebrae) that cause you to have back problems.
Fusing means two bones are permanently placed together so there is
no longer movement between them. Supplementary bone tissue
either autograft or allograft is used in conjunction with the body's
natural osteoblastic processes. This procedure is used primarily to
eliminate the pain caused by abnormal motion of the vertebrae by
immobilizing the vertebrae themselves.

Conditions where spinal fusion surgery is used:

Spinal fusion is done most commonly in the lumbar region of the
spine, but it is also used to treat cervical and thoracic problems.
Conditions for which spinal fusion is most commonly done:

   •   degenerative disc disease
   •   discogenic pain
   •   spinal tumor
   •   vertebral fracture
   •   scoliosis
   •   spondylolisthesis
   •   spondylosis
   •   other degenerative spinal conditions
   •   any condition that causes instability of the spine



Types of spinal fusion:

There are two main types of spinal fusion, which may be used in
conjunction with each other:

Posterolateral fusion places the bone graft between the transverse
processes in the back of the spine. These vertebrae are then fixed in
place with screws and/or wire through the pedicles of each vertebrae
attaching to a metal rod on each side of the vertebrae.

Interbody fusion places the bone graft between the vertebrae in the
area usually occupied by the intervertebral disc. In preparation for the
spinal fusion, the disc is removed entirely. The fusion then occurs
between the endplates of the vertebrae. This procedure may be done
through the abdomen (Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion or ALIF) or
through the back (Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion or PLIF).

Using both types of fusion in conjunction yields the highest chances
of successful fusion. This is known as 360-degree fusion.

Spinal fusion Surgery procedure:

Spinal fusion surgery requires general anesthesia. The procedure
may take from two to 12 hours, depending on how extensive the
surgery is and the technique your surgeon uses. Surgery may involve
a large incision, or may be done using newer techniques with smaller
incisions. To fuse the spine doctor needs small pieces of extra bone
to fill the space between two vertebrae. This bone may come from
your own body (autogenous bone), usually from a pelvic bone. Or, it
may come from another person (allograft bone) by way of a bone
bank. If the front of spine is fused, the disk is removed first. Bone
graft substitutes, such as genetically engineered proteins, are being
developed as alternatives to using bones from body or a bone bank.
Sometimes, doctors also use wires, rods, screws, metal cages or
plates.

Benefits of Spinal Fusion Surgery:


Any procedures done to reduce pain and improve mobility in patients
are a benefit. Undergoing a spinal fusion might decrease pain in the
back and legs, as well as reduce spine curvatures like scoliosis.
Spinal fusion procedures are often recommended to those who suffer
from severe back pain due to slippage of bones, causing
misalignment. Other ailments a spine fusion might help improve are
recurrent disc herniation, traumatic injury to the spine and fractures.



Risks for spine fusion surgery are:

  •   Infection in the wound or vertebral bones
  •   Damage to a spinal nerve, causing weakness, pain, loss of
      sensation, problems with your bowels or bladder
  •   The spinal column above and below the fusion are more likely
      to cause other back later.
