Different types of Herniated Disk Surgery
Dr. Frenkel’s outstanding results have earned him recognition as a pioneer in spine surgery on a global scale. He is now pursuing many patents for implants, innovative methods of spine surgery and minimally invasive retractors. Surgery to replace a herniated disc is typically the last option after other forms of care such painkillers, therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, injections, and rest have been exhausted.
A laminectomy or laminotomy
A laminotomy involves a surgeon creating an incision in the lamina, the spinal arch, to release pressure from your nerve roots. A tiny incision is made to carry out this treatment, occasionally with the use of a microscope. The lamina can be taken off if needed. Doctors refer to this as a laminectomy.
Discectomy/microdiscectomy
The most popular procedure for treating a herniated disc in the lumbar area is a discectomy. The part of the disc that is pressing on your nerve root is eliminated during this treatment. Sometimes the entire disc is taken out.
Artificial disc replacement
You will be put under general anaesthesia for the artificial disc procedure. When the issue is with a single disc within the lower back, this operation is typically used. Your abdomen is cut open for the surgeon to enter during this surgery. An artificial disc composed of plastic and metal is used to replace the damaged disc.
Spinal fusion
Spinal fusion requires general anaesthesia. During this procedure, two or more vertebrae are surgically fused together. Bone grafts from a donor or from another area of your body can be used to achieve this. Furthermore, plastic or metal rods and screws designed to provide additional support may be employed. This will render that section of your spine immobile indefinitely.
