Spine surgery refers to surgical procedures performed to address conditions affecting the spine, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spinal fractures, or spinal deformities like scoliosis. Common types of spine surgery include:

Discectomy: Surgery to remove a portion of a herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve root or spinal cord.

Spinal Fusion: Surgery to join two or more vertebrae together using bone grafts or metal hardware, stabilizing the spine and reducing pain.

Laminectomy: Surgery to remove the lamina (back part of the vertebra) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, often performed for spinal stenosis.

Decompression Surgery: Procedures aimed at relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, which may involve removing bone or tissue causing compression.

Recovery from spine surgery varies depending on the type and extent of the procedure, often requiring rehabilitation to regain strength, mobility, and function in the spine.
