2. What is Spinal Surgery ?
• A Spinal Surgery is the surgical procedure
used for alleviating pain and disability in the spine
caused by a lesion/trauma which has failed to
improve with other non surgical options such
as physiotherapy, medications etc.
• Spine is divided into 5 types of vertebrae –
7 Cervical,12 Thoracic, 5 Lumbar segments, 5 Sacral
and Coccyx. Of these segments, cervical and lumbar
spines are the segments that commonly undergo
surgeries.

3. Types of spinal procedures
• Discectomy – Removal of the disc lying between the two vertebral
bodies.
• Laminectomy - It is the excision of the bony lamina (part of the spinal
vertebrae).
• Laminotomy - It is the removal of a small portion of the lamina and
ligaments, usually on one side.
• Foraminotomy - Removal of bone, disc, scar tissue or excessive ligament
around the inter-vertebral foramen, that is compressing the nerve bundles.
• Spinal Fusion - Fusion is the spine surgery in which two vertebrae are
joined with a bone graft or any similar biological substance. It is used to
eliminate motion between adjacent vertebrae.
• Spinal Decompression – It refers to surgically removing the tissues
which are pressing against the spinal cord or the nerves resulting in pain
or other problems.
