The patient is recommend a spine surgery in following cases:
When preparing for a spine surgery, patients are recommended following:
Spinal Fusion: Spinal Fusion is the most common spine surgery. An intervertebral disc is removed and replaced by a titanium cage. The bone grafts are then joined together and fuse together permanently over a period of time. This procedure is done to relieve the pain in the back, treat the instability of spine and to reduce the pressure on nerves.
Foraminotomy: In this type of surgery, the bone at the sides of the vertebrae is cut away to broaden the space at the points of exit of the nerves from the spinal cord. This procedure may result in instability of the spine in some cases and might require a spinal fusion to stabilize the spine.
Laminectomy: This procedure involves the removal of parts of bone, bone overgrowths or ligaments to relieve the pressure on the nerves entering and exiting the spinal cord. This procedure too may require a spinal fusion to stabilize the spine.
Diskectomy: This surgical procedure is used to remove the herniated or slipped disc to relieve the pressure on the spinal nerves. A discectomy can be performed along with the other procedures including spinal fusion, foraminotomy or laminectomy.
Disc Replacement: This surgery includes the damaged disc in the spine being replaced by an artificial disk between the vertebrae.
Cervical Spine Surgery: This procedure is carried out to treat the pain and the damage in the cervical spine. This surgery usually includes a decompression surgery and a fusion surgery being carried out together in order to relieve the pressure on the nerves in the cervical spine and to maintain the stability of the spine.

My Mom has recently undergone spine surgery by Dr. Vamsi Krishna Varma P. In my first visit only i got confidence that his suggestions are worth full. He clearly explained the problem and given a right solution which is amazing. Most of the doctors cure the disease but his specialty is first curing the person's mentally and then the disease. He is easily approachable and reacts to every question patient ask with respect, and builds the confidence level of the patient. He is very ground to earth and a super personality. Now my mom is really doing good at an age of 60 after spine surgery.
I had a benign lesion / Tumor inside the spine. Doctor Ganesh performed surgery and removed it. Now I am perfectly alright. Excellent and dedicated doctor.
