جراحة العمود الفقري السفلي

To ensure the requirement of surgery, the doctor asks for certain tests such as X-ray, MRI, CT Scan with 3D reconstruction, and EMG/NCV.

After analyzing the reports, the surgeon makes an effective surgery plan.

If the patient smokes, he/she needs to quit several months before the surgery. This is necessary to avoid complications.

Plus, the patients need to share their medical history with the doctor to avoid any side effects. Dietary supplements and herbal remedies can also interfere in the surgery. So, the patient needs to share every minor information related to their health.

Usually, the patient is admitted to the hospital on the day of surgery. The anesthesiologist reviews the patient’s medical history and does a physical examination. The anesthesiologist also decides the type of anesthesia to be used during the surgery.

This procedure can be performed under general and spinal anesthesia. Generally, this surgery takes around 1 to 3 hours, depending upon the type of procedure.

Once the surgery is over, the patient will be moved to a recovery room, where the patient will be observed by the nurse, until the anesthesia wears off. The doctor will insert an IV line into a vein in the arm and catheter into the bladder to make urinating easier.

Once the anesthesia wears off, the patient will be taken to the normal room. The nurses will make sure that the patient can move, walk and eat easily. 

After the surgery, the patient may experience some pain. To overcome pain, the doctor will prescribe the most suitable medication. 

Before the discharge from the hospital, the doctor will teach the patient how to move, sit, stand, and walk. The doctors will also teach the family members how to provide care to the patient at home.
