Our expert orthopedic spine surgeon, Dr. Amogh Zawar, offers a full spectrum of advanced surgical interventions, including modern fusion and reconstruction techniques, to restore stability and function, ensuring a better quality of life.
Advanced Spine Surgery is a term for a range of highly complex and specialized surgical procedures designed to address severe spinal pathologies that cannot be managed with less invasive methods. These surgeries are often required for conditions that cause significant spinal instability, neurological compromise, or severe deformity.
The primary goals of advanced spine surgeries are:
Dr. Amogh Zawar offers a comprehensive range of advanced spine surgery procedures tailored to your specific condition.
Advanced spine surgeries are typically considered as a definitive treatment option for severe and debilitating spinal pathologies when:
Dr. Amogh Zawar's meticulous diagnostic process will determine if a specific advanced surgical procedure is the safest and most effective long-term solution for your complex condition.
Advanced spine surgeries, when performed by an expert like Dr. Amogh Zawar, offer life-changing benefits for patients with severe spinal conditions.
Advanced spine surgeries are major procedures that carry a higher level of risk compared to less extensive surgeries. Dr. Amogh Zawar will provide a thorough and detailed discussion of all potential risks and complications during your consultation.
Choosing the right spine surgeon for a complex and advanced procedure is paramount for achieving a successful outcome, robust stability, and long-term relief. Dr. Amogh Zawar at Spine Fix Clinic in Thane offers unparalleled expertise and a truly patient-focused approach:
A spinal fusion’s main goal is to permanently eliminate painful motion at a specific spinal segment by joining two or more vertebrae into a single, solid bone. This provides robust stability and can effectively relieve chronic pain.
Spinal reconstruction is a more complex surgery that is typically performed for severe damage from trauma, tumors, or deformities. It may involve removing an entire vertebral body and requires more intricate techniques and extensive multi-level fusion to rebuild the spine and restore its alignment.
You will lose motion at the specific spinal segment that is fused. However, the rest of your spine should retain its flexibility. For most patients, eliminating pain and restoring stability far outweighs the loss of motion at the fused levels.
Recovery is a gradual process. Hospital stays are typically 2-5 days. Full bone fusion can take 6 months to over a year. Your surgeon will guide you through a structured rehabilitation plan for a safe return to activities.
ASD is a potential long-term risk after spinal fusion. It occurs when the increased stress on the discs and joints immediately above or below the fused segment can accelerate their degeneration. Dr. Amogh Zawar’s surgical techniques are designed to minimize this risk.
Key risks include non-union (failure of fusion to heal), adjacent segment disease, infection, bleeding, and very rare but serious risks like nerve or spinal cord injury. Dr. Amogh Zawar’s expertise and advanced technology are focused on minimizing these risks.
The choice of approach (open vs. minimally invasive) depends on the specific condition, the number of levels involved, and your overall health. Dr. Amogh Zawar will choose the approach that is safest and most effective for achieving your surgical goals.
Robotic-assisted fusion allows for the placement of spinal implants with sub-millimeter accuracy, which significantly enhances safety by minimizing the risk of malposition and injury to nearby nerves and the spinal cord.
Yes, spinal fusion is a definitive surgical treatment for correcting and stabilizing severe spinal deformities like scoliosis or kyphosis, which can significantly improve a patient’s posture and quality of life.
A microdiscectomy for a herniated disc is a minimally invasive surgery, not a major fusion or reconstruction. It is considered less complex and has a much faster recovery than the advanced fusion and reconstructive surgeries.
Your surgeon and team will provide detailed pre-operative instructions. This typically includes quitting smoking, following a healthy diet, and performing specific exercises to strengthen your core.
Your surgeon will provide specific instructions based on your procedure. For most surgeries, flying is not recommended for a few weeks to months to reduce the risk of blood clots.
