Lumbar Corpectomy and Fusion

What is Lumbar Corpectomy and Fusion?

A Lumbar Corpectomy and fusion is a surgical procedure that removes a damaged vertebral body in the lower back (lumbar region) to help relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. 

After removal, the surgeon stabilizes the spine with a bone graft or implant, using metal plates or screws to support the vertebrae as the bone heals and fuses.

Which Conditions Require Lumbar Corpectomy and Fusion?

Lumbar corpectomy and fusion treatment in Dubai is typically required for conditions that severely damage or compromise the structure of the vertebrae and put pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. 

These conditions include:

  • Spinal tumors and infections
  • Spinal fractures
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Traumatic injuries
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Herniated disc

What is the Surgical Technique of Lumbar Corpectomy and Fusion?

The Lumbar Corpectomy and Fusion treatment in Dubai is a step-by-step process that relieves pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, reduces pain, and prevents further damage. 

  • Anaesthesia: The patient is first put under general anaesthesia so they remain completely unconscious and pain-free throughout the surgery.
  • Incision: Depending on the best way to access the spine, our surgeon will make an incision in either the lower back or abdomen.
  • Removing the Vertebra: Our surgeon will carefully remove the affected vertebra (or part of it) along with any nearby disc material that is pressing on the spinal nerves, which helps relieve nerve pressure.
  • Bone Graft or Implant Placement: After removing the damaged parts, the empty space is filled with a bone graft or implant to provide structural support.
  • Fusion: To ensure the spine is stable as it heals, metal plates, rods, or screws are placed around the area, ensuring everything stays in position as the bone graft fuses with the surrounding vertebrae.
  • Closing Incision: The incision is then closed, and the patient is moved to recovery.

This technique not only relieves pain and pressure on the nerves but also restores stability to the spine, helping patients regain mobility and comfort.

How to Recover From a Lumbar Corpectomy and Fusion?

After surgery, you’ll likely spend a few days in the hospital. Our medical team will monitor your pain, mobility, and healing progress. You’ll also be given pain medications to help manage discomfort.

In the first few weeks at home, rest is crucial. Avoid bending, twisting, or heavy lifting to protect your spine. Simple activities like walking short distances can help prevent stiffness and improve circulation. 

You may be asked to wear a back brace to provide extra support and stability while your spine heals. 

Physical therapy will assist you in regaining strength and flexibility, strengthening your back muscles, improving flexibility, and restoring mobility.
