What you need to know about Spinal Fusion Surgery in Cape Town
Spinal fusion surgery is a surgical procedure to connect two or more vertebrae in your spine so that they can heal into a single bone. The goal of the procedure is to correct problems within the vertebrae (such as to restore stability to the spine or to eliminate painful motion) as the bones will not move like they used to and keep you from stretching nearby ligaments, nerves, and muscles. The surgery is often recommended for people with back pain caused by degenerative disk disease, scoliosis, fracture, tumors, spine infection, spondylolisthesis, and spinal stenosis.
What's the Recovery Time for Spinal Fusion Surgery Procedures in Cape Town?
Recovery from spinal fusion surgery can take as long as six to twelve months. If your job is not physically demanding, you may be able to get back to work and some of your activities within 3-4 months, but make sure you consult your doctor about your recovery timeline to avoid any complications.
What's the Success Rate of Spinal Fusion Surgery Procedures in Cape Town?
Spinal fusion surgery is generally safe and effective. Approximately 80% to 95% of people who have spinal fusion are satisfied with the result and about 70% said that their pain is significantly reduced. However, as with any surgery, there are some potential side effects and risks, such as bleeding, blood clots, poor wound healing, infection, injury to nerves or blood vessels in and around the spine, pseudoarthrosis, tissue rejection, and risk from anesthesia.
