Spine surgery encompasses a range of surgical procedures aimed at treating disorders and injuries affecting the spine. Dr. Anurag Saxena, a leading neurosurgeon specializing in spine surgery, utilizes advanced techniques to provide comprehensive care for his patients.
Overview
Spine surgery is recommended when conservative treatments fail to alleviate symptoms or when surgical intervention is necessary to correct spinal abnormalities or injuries. Dr. Anurag Saxena combines his extensive training, state-of-the-art technology, and patient-centered approach to deliver personalized care and optimal surgical outcomes.Common Conditions Treated
Disc Replacement Surgery:
Disc replacement surgery involves removing a damaged spinal disc and replacing it with an artificial disc to relieve pain and restore spinal mobility. Dr. Anurag Saxena employs advanced techniques to perform disc replacement surgeries with precision and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery:
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) uses small incisions and specialized instruments to access the spine, reducing muscle damage and recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. Dr. Anurag Saxena specializes in MISS techniques for treating a variety of spinal conditions, including herniated discs and spinal stenosis.
Spinal Fractures:
Spinal fractures, often caused by trauma or osteoporosis, may require surgical stabilization to relieve pain and prevent further damage to the spinal cord or nerves. Dr. Anurag Saxena provides expert care for patients with spinal fractures, employing both minimally invasive and traditional surgical approaches as needed.
Endoscopic Spine Surgery:
Endoscopic spine surgery utilizes a small camera (endoscope) and specialized tools to treat spinal conditions through tiny incisions. This minimally invasive technique allows for precise visualization and targeted treatment of spinal disorders. Dr. Anurag Saxena is skilled in performing endoscopic procedures to optimize patient recovery and outcomes.
Cervical Micro Discectomy:
Cervical micro discectomy is a surgical procedure to remove herniated or damaged discs in the neck (cervical spine), relieving pressure on spinal nerves and reducing pain and numbness in the arms and hands. Dr. Anurag Saxena performs cervical micro discectomy using advanced microsurgical techniques for improved surgical outcomes.
Lumbar Microscopic Discectomy:
Lumbar microscopic discectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove herniated or degenerative discs in the lower back (lumbar spine), alleviating leg pain and improving mobility. Dr. Anurag Saxena specializes in lumbar microscopic discectomy procedures, focusing on preserving spinal stability and function.
Spinal Tumor:
Spinal tumors can be benign or malignant growths within the spinal cord or surrounding structures. Surgical removal of spinal tumors may be necessary to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves and improve neurological function. Dr. Anurag Saxena offers expert diagnosis and treatment of spinal tumors, utilizing advanced surgical techniques tailored to each patient’s needs.
Back Problems:
Back problems encompass a range of conditions affecting the spine, including degenerative disc disease, spinal deformities (such as scoliosis), and chronic back pain. Dr. Anurag Saxena provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment options for patients experiencing back problems, emphasizing non-surgical approaches when appropriate and surgical intervention when necessary.
