Vertebroplasty
Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to stabilize spinal fractures and relieve pain caused by vertebral compression fractures. These fractures are often due to osteoporosis, cancer, or spinal injuries. The procedure involves injecting a special medical-grade cement into the fractured vertebra to provide stability and reduce pain.
Why Choose Vertebroplasty?
Vertebroplasty is a preferred treatment option for patients who suffer from painful vertebral compression fractures that do not respond to conventional treatments like bed rest, pain medication, or back braces. The procedure offers several benefits:
- Rapid Pain Relief: Many patients experience significant pain reduction shortly after the procedure.
- Minimally Invasive: Vertebroplasty involves smaller incisions, reduced risk of complications, and shorter recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
- Stabilization: The cement injected into the vertebra stabilizes the fracture, preventing further collapse and deformity.
- Improved Mobility: Patients often regain mobility and can return to their daily activities more quickly.
The Vertebroplasty Procedure
Consultation and Evaluation: Before recommending vertebroplasty, our specialists conduct a thorough evaluation, including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI.
Procedure Steps:
- Anesthesia: Vertebroplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia, but general anesthesia may be used in some cases.
- Positioning: The patient lies face down on the operating table, and the area around the fracture is sterilized.
- Guidance: Using real-time imaging guidance, the surgeon carefully inserts a hollow needle into the fractured vertebra.
- Cement Injection: Special medical-grade bone cement is injected through the needle into the vertebra. The cement hardens quickly, stabilizing the fracture.
- Completion: The needle is removed, and the small incision is bandaged. The entire procedure typically takes about one hour.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-Procedure Care: After vertebroplasty, patients are usually observed for a short period before being discharged. Most patients can go home the same day. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions, including:
- Activity Restrictions: Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for a few days but can gradually return to normal activities as tolerated.
- Pain Management: Any post-procedure discomfort is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
- Follow-Up: We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the patient's recovery and assess the effectiveness of the procedure.
