Orthopaedic Disc Surgery, also known as spine surgery or spinal disc surgery, involves procedures to address issues affecting the intervertebral discs in the spine. Common conditions treated with orthopaedic disc surgery include herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis. Surgical interventions aim to relieve pressure on nerves, stabilize the spine, and alleviate pain or neurological symptoms. Procedures may include discectomy, where a portion of the disc is removed, spinal fusion to stabilize the spine, or artificial disc replacement. Advances in minimally invasive techniques have allowed for smaller incisions, reduced trauma, and faster recovery. Orthopaedic disc surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medications, and injections have not provided sufficient relief. Surgeons often use imaging technologies like MRI or CT scans for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. While orthopaedic disc surgery can be highly effective in alleviating symptoms and improving function, it is essential for patients to participate in postoperative rehabilitation for optimal outcomes. The field continually evolves with ongoing research and technological advancements to enhance surgical techniques and improve patient outcomes in the realm of spinal disc disorders.
