What is Spinal Fusion Surgery?

Spinal fusion surgery is a procedure designed to permanently join two or more vertebrae in the spine, eliminating motion between them. This is often performed to alleviate chronic back pain caused by conditions like degenerative disc disease, spinal instability, or herniated discs. For single-level fusion, only one section of the spine is targeted, making it a focused and less extensive procedure compared to multi-level fusions.

When is Single-Level Spinal Fusion Needed?

Single-level spinal fusion is recommended when nonsurgical treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or injections fail to provide relief. It is particularly effective for patients suffering from localized issues like spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra), fractures, or chronic disc degeneration in a specific spinal segment.

Preparation Before Surgery

Preparation involves detailed diagnostic imaging such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs to identify the problematic vertebrae. Patients may need to stop certain medications, particularly blood thinners, to reduce bleeding risks. Fasting for at least 8 hours before surgery is required, and the surgical team provides specific instructions for the day of the operation.
