Lumbar Fusion Surgery

Expert Guide to Lumbar Fusion Surgery: Advanced Treatments 

Lumbar radiculopathy and spinal nerve compression often occur because of an intervertebral disc herniation. This can lead to serious back pain, weakness, or numbness in the legs. In Dubai, many people visit Dr. Rajeswaran to treat herniated disc problems. He uses modern tools to detect issues like degenerative disc disease. Acting helps stop it from turning into a long-term problem, showing how much he cares about his patients. 

Some common signs are: 

  • Ongoing pain in the lower back spreading to the legs. 
  • Tingling or numb feelings due to spinal nerve compression. 
  • Weak muscles make daily tasks harder. 

What is Lumbar Fusion Surgery Dubai? 

Lumbar fusion surgery Dubai connects two or more vertebrae to make the spine stable and address issues like trauma or degeneration. Dr. Rajeswaran uses fusion hardware and bone grafts during lumbar fusion to fix alignment and ease pain. This procedure works best when other treatments don’t help with lumbar radiculopathy. 

Advantages include: 

  • Stops movement in painful areas. 
  • Helps avoid future adjacent segment disease. 
  • Enhances mobility with the right rehab. 

Herniated Disc Treatment Dubai Choices 

To treat herniated discs in Dubai, Dr. Rajeswaran focuses on using invasive techniques before considering surgery. He offers options like lumbar discectomy, which removes the bulging disc causing spinal nerve compression, and endoscopic discectomy, a method that allows precise removal through tiny cuts. Alternative treatment option includes percutaneous disc decompression, which provides non-surgical relief for contained herniations. 

  • Endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD): Uses an endoscope to cause minimal tissue harm. 
  • Lumbar discectomy: A reliable traditional method for treating larger herniations. 

Surgical Approaches: ALIF and PLIF 

Dr. Rajeswaran is skilled in techniques such as ALIF vs PLIF used in spinal fusion UAE. The ALIF method focuses on accessing the spine from the front, which works well to restore disc height with options like cages as bone graft alternatives. PLIF deals with posterior spinal problems, which saves more bone. Techniques like invasive lumbar fusion help reduce blood loss and shorten hospital recovery times. 

Advances in Minimally Invasive and Endoscopic Methods 

Invasive lumbar fusion and endoscopic discectomy show how Dr. Rajeswaran applies endoscopic surgeries with intraoperative monitoring. These methods reduce scarring, help patients recover faster, and cut down the risk of infections for treating lumbar radiculopathy. Percutaneous disc decompression offers an incision-free outpatient solution to ease discomfort.
