What is Back (Spine) Fusion Surgery? Interbody
Spine Fusion Surgery allows integrity to be
restored to the spine after a bad disc is
removed. It helps to stabilize the spine and
reduce pain. It is the uniting of two bony
segments, whether a fracture or a vertebral
joint. In time, normally within 4 months, the
bone grafts will unite with the vertebrae above
and below to form one piece of bone.

What is done during a Spinal Disc Fusion Surgery?
There are a number of techniques for an interbody
fusion of the lumbar spine. First the suregon
removes the lamina or the portion of the vertebra
that covers the nerves . Removing the lamina
relieves some of the pressure on the spine. Then
any disc herniation that may be pinching the
nerve roots is removed, just like in
Microdiscectomy. Rods are secured to the spine
with screws in order to hold the discs in place
while the bone graft fuses. Bone grafts are
added. The incision is closed. The bone graft
will fuse over time.
