Terminate chronic back pain caused by spondylolisthesis.
Get it treated with minimally invasive spine surgery .. Less pain with faster recovery
What are signs and symptoms?
- Back pain
- Pain that travels from the back down one or both legs
- Pain in the lower back, hip and the back of thigh (the hamstring)
- Numbness in the legs or feet
- Leg weakness
- Urinary and fecal incontinence.
What are causes?
- Spinal instability which is a condition that occurs when the inter-vertebral discs in the spine begin to degenerate.
- The bulge of the disc decreases and begins to lose height. This causes the vertebrae to displace from their anatomical position and override the disc.
- Once the vertebrae slip out of place, spinal canal becomes narrow, compressing the nerves traveling through the lower back into the legs, causing back pain radiating to the legs, numbness and weakness in one or both legs.
How can spondylolisthesis be surgically treated?
Minimally invasive spine surgery at Bangkok International Hospital.
Treatment goals are:- Decompression: aiming at relieving symptoms caused by pressure on a nerve due to a narrowed spinal canal e.g. pain radiating to the leg, numbness, weakness in the leg and urinary or fecal incontinence.
- Restabilization: focusing on correcting spinal instability and deformity that cause back pain while optimizing the physiological weight-bearing function.
- Realignment: aiming at correcting and adjusting spinal curving while improving spinal balance in patients present with scoliosis.
What are superior benefits of minimally invasive spine surgery at Bangkok International Hospital?
Before surgery
- All patient information is given including how surgery is performed, benefits of the surgery, possible complications and instructions both before and after surgery.
- Physical examination and medical clearance thoroughly performed by an expert specialist. Reviewing a list of regular medications taken by the patient.
- Planning treatment by spine surgeons and multidisciplinary team.
After surgery
- Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol has emerged as a multimodal perioperative care pathway designed to achieve early recovery after minimally invasive spine surgery by maintaining pre-operative organ function and reducing the profound stress response following surgery while enhancing early mobilization, allowing for a quick return to daily life and activity.
- Spine surgeons: If applicable, spine surgeons preferably consider “MISS” or Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery using special techniques and surgical devices through smaller incisions.
- Anesthesiologists: Anesthesiologists play a significant role in delivering ERAS benefits to the patients, including minimizing pain, reducing opioid administration and undesired side effects, expediting patient recovery and enhancing early mobilization while decreasing hospital length of stay.
- Physiatrists and rehabilitation specialists: Physiatrists and rehabilitation team optimize patient’s physiologic function and facilitate recovery process. To ensure a quick recovery, physical assessment for each patient will be conducted by rehabilitation team.
- Internal medicine physicians: Internal medicine physicians help to arrange medical plans before and after surgery particularly in patients who have had underlying conditions,
- Nurses, pharmacists and nutritionists: Post-operative care must be also provided under close supervision of other medical professions, including nurse, clinical pharmacist and nutritionist. Medication administration and appropriate nutrition are vital for enhancing recovery process.
