ALIF/OLIF/PLIF/TLIF/X-LIF
Refers to Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion, Oblique Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion, Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion, Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion, and Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion.
-
Anterior Cervical Corpectomy
Removes part of the vertebrae and intervertebral discs to relieve spinal cord or nerve root pressure in the cervical spine.
-
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
Relieves symptoms of cervical spine disorders, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease.
-
Anterior Spinal Fusion
Treats problems with the vertebrae by approaching the spine from the front (anterior) of the body to fuse two or more vertebrae together.
-
Anterior/Posterior Cervical Fusion
Treats complex cervical spine problems by fusing vertebrae in the neck (cervical spine) from both the front (anterior) and back (posterior).
-
Anterior/Posterior Spinal Fusion
Treats severe spinal cases by fusing the vertebrae from both the front (anterior) and back (posterior) aspects of the spine.
-
Cervical Decompression
Relieves pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots in the cervical spine that cause pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty with coordination.
-
Cervical Disc Replacement
Replaces a damaged or degenerated cervical disc with an artificial disc in the neck to maintain motion in the cervical spine.
-
Cervical Fusion for Tumors
Stabilizes the cervical spine (the neck region) after the removal of a spinal tumor to alleviate pain and prevent or address neurological deficits.
-
Cervical Laminectomy
Relieves pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots due to conditions such as spinal stenosis, herniated discs, tumors, or spinal injuries.
-
Cervical Laminectomy and Fusion
Removes part of the vertebral bone (laminectomy) and subsequently fuses it to adjacent vertebrae, often performed on the cervical spine.
-
Cervical Laminoplasty
Reconstructs the lamina to create more space for the spinal cord while maintaining the stability of the cervical spine.
-
Cervical Laminotomy
Involves making a small opening in the lamina to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots.
-
Cervical Posterior Decompression and Fusion
Relieves pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots to stabilize the spine, often recommended for spinal conditions that can’t be addressed through an anterior (front) approach.
-
Cervical Posterior Foraminotomy
Involves accessing the spine from the back (posterior) and enlarging the vertebral foramen to relieve pressure on spinal nerves in the cervical spine.
-
Exploration of Fusion
Assesses the progress or integrity of a previous spinal fusion surgery, where two or more vertebrae were joined together.
-
Lumbar Decompression
Relieves pressure on the spinal nerves in the lower back, often caused by conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or spondylolisthesis.
-
Lumbar Discectomy
Removes part of a herniated disc in the lower back (lumbar region) to relieve pressure on spinal nerves.
-
Lumbar Fusion for Tumors
Involves stabilizing the lumbar (lower back) region of the spine following the removal of spinal tumors.
-
Lumbar Laminectomy
Relieves pressure on the lower back (lumbar region) due to conditions like spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or arthritis.
-
Lumbar Microdiscectomy
Alleviates pain caused by a herniated lumbar disc by removing the portion of the intervertebral disc that is pressing on the spinal nerve root.
-
Lumbar Posterior Fusion
Stabilizes the lumbar (lower back) spine by fusing two or more vertebrae from the back (posterior) of the spine.
-
Osteotomies
Cuts and reshapes bones in the spine to correct misalignments and deformities or to relieve pain affecting function of the bones and joints.
-
Pars Repair
Treats spondylolysis or stress fracture in a part of the vertebra called the pars interarticularis, a small bone segment that connects the facet joints in the spine.
-
Percutaneous Pedicle Instrumentation of the Lumbar Spine
Stabilizes the lumbar spine (lower back) using pedicle screws and rods to address conditions such as spinal instability, deformities, fractures, or degenerative spine diseases.
-
Percutaneous Pedicle Instrumentation of Thoracic Spine
Stabilizes the thoracic spine (upper and mid-back) using pedicle screws and rods to address conditions such as spinal instability, deformities, fractures, or degenerative spine diseases.
-
Posterior Spinal Fusion
Stabilizes and fuses two or more vertebrae in the spine from the posterior (back) approach to address various spinal conditions.
-
Posterior Thoracic Decompression
Relieves pressure on the thoracic spine (the upper and mid-back) due to conditions such as spinal stenosis, herniated discs, tumors, or spinal injuries.
-
Posterior Thoracic Laminectomy
Relieves pressure on the thoracic spine (the upper and mid-back) by removing a portion of the lamina, the bony arch on the back of the vertebra.
-
Removal of Spinal Implants/Hardware
Removes previously implanted hardware or instrumentation in the spine, such as screws, rods, plates, and cages used in spinal surgeries.
-
Revision Spinal Surgery
Refers to a secondary or follow-up surgical procedure performed on the spine after a previous spinal surgery.
-
Synovial Cyst Excision
Removes a synovial cyst, also known as a ganglion cyst, that develop near the facet joints of the vertebrae in the spine.
-
Thoracic Interbody Fusion
Stabilizes and fuses two or more vertebrae in the thoracic spine (the upper and mid-back) to address various spinal conditions.
-
Thoracic Posterior Fusion
Stabilize and fuse two or more vertebrae in the thoracic spine (the upper and mid-back) to address conditions like scoliosis, kyphosis, spondylolisthesis, or trauma.
-
Thoracic Posterior Fusion for Tumors
Stabilizes and fuses vertebrae on the thoracic spine that have been affected by tumors to provide spinal stability.
