Complex Vascular Spinal Surgery
Complex vascular spinal surgery is a highly specialized procedure aimed at treating conditions that affect the vascular structures (blood vessels) in the spine. These conditions can involve abnormalities such as spinal vascular malformations, arteriovenous fistulas, or tumors that impact blood flow to the spinal cord. This type of surgery requires advanced techniques and expertise to manage the delicate nature of both the spine and vascular systems.
The procedure involves removing or repairing vascular abnormalities in the spine, which may be causing pain, weakness, or neurological deficits. It can help prevent further damage to the spinal cord and nerves and improve spinal function by restoring proper blood flow to the affected areas.
Benefits of Complex Vascular Spinal Surgery
Complex vascular spinal surgery offers numerous benefits, particularly in improving spinal health and preventing irreversible nerve damage. The procedure is designed to alleviate symptoms such as pain, weakness, and sensory loss caused by vascular conditions affecting the spine.
- Alleviates pain and neurological symptoms caused by vascular abnormalities in the spine
- Restores proper blood flow to the spinal cord and nerves
- Prevents further neurological damage and spinal dysfunction
- Improves overall spinal health and mobility
Our skilled spine surgeons work with a multidisciplinary team to carefully plan and perform complex vascular spinal surgeries. We employ the latest technologies to ensure precise, safe procedures, while minimizing risks and optimizing recovery outcomes.
How Complex Vascular Spinal Surgery Works
Complex vascular spinal surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon may approach the spine through the back, front, or side, depending on the location of the vascular issue. In some cases, an endovascular approach is used to treat certain conditions with minimal incisions. The goal is to remove or repair the abnormal blood vessels, restore normal blood flow, and relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
