What is the back fusion of lumbar interBody?
The back merger of the lumbar interBody (PLIF) is a type of spinal fusion operation. Patients usually undergo this type of surgery to treat a number of problems with the back of vertebrae. During this procedure, the surgeon usually combines two adjacent vertebrae together using bone graft. This procedure has some potential risks and may not be suitable for all patients with back problems. Individuals with scoliosis or broken bones in the spine can also receive this type of spine treatment in some cases. Patients with some types of infections and tumors in the spine may also undergo an infusion of rear lumbar interBods. Parts of the lower back and other tissues usually move from the spine to provide the surgeon's clear view of the nerve roots in the spine. The surgeon removes the nerve roots and the disk material from the disk space where the fusion occurs. Then the surgeon usually implants grafts into the newly opened disk space. Robal bones usually grow together and fuses with neighboring boneI spine after fusion on the rear lumbar interBody.
In some cases, patients do not have to experience the expected fusion of vertebrae after surgery, but in most cases the spine fusion occurs as planned. Patients who are obese, individuals who have undergone their previous backs, and people who have undergone radiation treatment of cancer usually have an increased chance that Štěp will not connect correctly with neighboring vertebrae. Bleeding and infection of the rear lumbar fusion surgery in some cases occurred.
Most patients walk home from the hospital within three to five days after surgery. Patients can receive instructions from a physiotherapist to help them with everyday movements of the spine and body during healing. Individuals can be instructed to avoid twisting, bending at the waist or lifting four to six weeks after returning home. In many cases, patients continue driving within seven to 14 days after surgery and usually mOhou return to work within two to three weeks after the operation. Most patients with their backs return to their doctors for periodic meetings to monitor the success of the merger of the back lumbar interBody.
