What is Spine Surgery?

Spine surgery refers to various surgical procedures performed to treat disorders affecting the spine and nervous system. The goal of surgery is to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, stabilize the spine, correct deformities, remove tumors, or repair injuries.

Modern spine surgery includes both traditional open procedures and minimally invasive techniques that use smaller incisions, causing less tissue damage and promoting faster recovery in suitable patients.

Not every patient with back or neck pain requires surgery. A detailed evaluation helps determine whether surgical treatment is the most appropriate option.
