Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the recovery time for spinal fusion surgery?
The first period of recovery takes about four to six weeks, during which a person can return to their normal daily activities. However, it takes about six months to a year for the spine to fully heal. A proper course of physical therapy and the doctor’s care can help get back to everyday life without pain as soon as possible.
2. How painful is spinal fusion surgery?
After the operation, discomfort is common during the first few days. With modern pain management, minimally invasive techniques, and targeted nerve blocks, the pain stays well controlled. Most patients feel a reduction in pain within two to four weeks as healing progresses.
3. Is it possible to completely cure scoliosis?
It is not possible to cure scoliosis because once it has developed, it cannot be eliminated. If detected at an early stage, some intervention procedures will always manage to stabilise or even correct the abnormally curved spine. Bracing and other non-surgical procedures can be used to treat the condition, and in severe cases, surgery can realign the spine and prevent the curve from progressing further.
4. Can one live with scoliosis without having surgery?
Yes, a large number of people with mild scoliosis can lead normal lives, stay active and have a pain-free existence without having surgery. The treatment usually involves physical therapy, carrying out exercises to strengthen the core muscles, conducting regular monitoring and the use of special braces, all of which generally serve to keep the spine stable and control the symptoms.
5. What type of surgery is employed in the treatment of scoliosis?
The primary operation involves spinal fusion using pedicle screws and rods, thereby realigning and stabilising the spine; in addition, patients who meet the criteria can have minimally invasive, motion-sparing procedures such as body tethering carried out to correct the curve and maintain spinal flexibility.
6. What is the treatment for spondylolisthesis at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels?
Conservative treatment is employed at first. This involves core stabilisation, modifying activities, taking anti-inflammatory medication and having epidural injections. However, if there is no improvement in severe pain or nerve compression, invasive decompression and fusion-such as TLIF or PLIF-are carried out to relieve pressure on the nerve and to stabilise the slumped vertebrae.
