Spine surgery is performed in order to correct pathologies of the spine that cause pain in the patient. Surgery is used to relieve the pain and / or numbness associated with this pain, which often radiates to other areas of the back, arms, legs, and usually, the cause of these symptoms are compressed nerves in the spine.
This procedure allows to decompress, mobilize the elements, fix vertebral structures or replace them. There are various types of back surgery, such as: dissectomy, laminectomy, disc implant, etc.
Back surgery is an option to consider when conservative treatments have not worked and the pain remains persistent and prevents the development of a normal life.
This procedure includes 3 days of hospitalization.
