Traction is offered as a non-surgical method of spinal decompression. [4] A 2021 meta-analysis showed physiotherapy was an effective method of managing prolapsed lumbar intervertebral discs; [5] but was unable to establish the source of the pain relief reported.
Identifying the level of entrapment is an important consideration for surgery as decompressing the wrong area will lead to a failed surgery (e.g. performing back surgery for extra-spinal sciatica), [2] [3] failure to treat nerve entrapment early can lead to permanent nerve injury, [4] and the patient may be unnecessarily exposed to surgical ...
In medicine, decompression refers to the removal or repositioning of any structure compressing any other structure. [citation needed]Common examples include decompressive craniectomy (removal of part of the skull to relieve pressure on the brain), a spinal decompression to relieve pressure on nerve roots, and a nerve decompression for peripheral nerve entrapments.
Spinal microsurgery is the most common and effective microsurgical decompression treatment for patients who present with moderate to severe spinal stenosis. [4] Spinal microsurgeries are performed with high magnification 3-D imaging of the fixated area of the spine, reducing the potential risk of harming the architecture of the spine itself.
These approaches are the anterior approach which is a direct removal of the cord compressing lesion, or a posterior approach which is an indirect decompression of the spinal cord. Laminectomy was one of the main methods for the posterior approach, however, the creation of laminoplasty was able to avoid several problems associated with the ...
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure to treat nerve root or spinal cord compression by decompressing the spinal cord and nerve roots of the cervical spine with a discectomy, followed by inter-vertebral fusion to stabilize the corresponding vertebrae. [1]
