Lumbar arthrodesis is a procedure that can be used to relieve certain types of back pain when other treatments have failed. Nowadays, because there are new ways to perform this surgery using minimally invasive techniques, the patient’s recovery process is much faster and easier than in the past.
Low back pain is one of the most common types of back pain. Although it is often related to muscle pain due to overexertion or poor posture, in other cases, it can be the sign of a more serious problem in the lumbar spine, or even in internal organs.
Disc injuries, such as herniation and degeneration, are common causes of low back pain and one of the main reasons for seeking medical attention. Artificial disc replacement (ADR) offers an effective alternative to spinal fusion, relieving pain without limiting the natural mobility of the spine. In this article, we explain what this technique involves, who can benefit from it, and what the recovery process is like.
Thanks to the rapidly advancing innovations, spine surgery is undergoing a revolution, and at Instituto Clavel, we are leading the way. By means of robotic surgery and endoscopic technology, it is now possible to treat even large and complex lesions with minimally invasive techniques, offering significant benefits to the patient.
One of the questions we are asked at Instituto Clavel about Parkinson’s disease, is whether it is hereditary. People obviously worry about this when there are cases of Parkinson’s in their family. Although most cases are not hereditary, there are genetic factors associated with PD, both in sporadic and familial Parkinson’s disease, especially in cases of early onset (before the age of 40.)
Smoking can have several negative effects on the outcome of a spine surgery. This is because tobacco reduces the flow of blood and oxygen in the body, including the spine, making it harder for surgical wounds to heal, and increasing the risk of infection after surgery. In addition, smoking can weaken bones and tissues, which can affect postoperative recovery.
Lumbar disc replacement is an alternative to other treatments, when dealing with cases of serious disc damage and chronic lower back pain.
