Spinal Stabilization Surgery
A surgical procedure performed to correct spinal instability, decompress the spinal cord, and fuse affected vertebrae. It is indicated for severe or progressive cases of spinal cord compression.
Key Facts
- The procedure aims to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and restore normal spinal alignment.
- It is typically recommended when conservative management fails or neurological deficits are severe.
- Post-operative care requires strict rest and restricted activity to ensure proper bone fusion.
- Outcomes vary based on the duration and severity of pre-existing neurological damage.
