What is spinal surgery?
Spinal, or back, surgery aims to change a patient’s anatomy to provide pain relief, such as removing a herniated disc that is causing pain. At The Wesley Hospital, back surgeries range from minimally invasive procedures with quick recovery times to more extensive procedures with longer recovery periods. Types of surgery include:
- Discectomy.
- Laminectomy.
- Spinal fusion.
