Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Spine surgery is needed for herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, spinal fractures, spinal tumors, and other conditions that don't respond to conservative treatment like physical therapy and medication.

Surgery duration varies by procedure complexity. Simple microdiscectomy takes 1-2 hours, while complex spinal fusion can take 4-8 hours. Your surgeon will provide specific time estimates based on your condition.

Risks include bleeding, infection, nerve damage, blood clots, and complications from anesthesia. However, with modern techniques and experienced surgeons, these risks are minimized and outcomes are generally excellent.

Recovery varies by procedure. Minimally invasive procedures may require 2-4 weeks, while complex fusion surgeries may need 3-6 months. Full recovery can take 6-12 months with proper rehabilitation and follow-up care.

Minimally invasive spine surgery uses smaller incisions, specialized instruments, and advanced imaging to perform complex procedures with less tissue damage, faster recovery, and reduced complications compared to traditional open surgery.

Yes, physical therapy is often essential for optimal recovery. It helps restore strength, flexibility, and function while preventing future spine problems. The duration and intensity depend on your specific procedure and condition.

Return to activities varies by procedure and individual healing. Light activities may resume in 2-4 weeks, while heavy lifting and strenuous activities may need 3-6 months. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines based on your procedure.

Follow-up includes regular check-ups, imaging studies, physical therapy monitoring, and lifestyle counseling. The frequency and duration of follow-up depend on your specific condition and treatment.
