Navigation-guided lumbar fixation is a specialized surgical approach that involves the removal of an intervertebral disc, which is often the source of back or leg pain. This procedure aims to stabilize the spine using screws and rods, with the assistance of Spine Navigator technology.
After a physical assessment, a comprehensive medical investigation of your spinal problem will be conducted. Once the necessary investigations and medical assessments are completed, your surgery will be meticulously planned. You will receive guidance to admit yourself on the day of the surgery.
During this approach, an incision is made in the middle of the lower back. Surgical instruments are used to remove the entire facet joint on one side, allowing access to the degenerated disc. The problematic disc is then carefully removed under the microscope. Following that, with the aid of spine navigation and 3D C-Arm technology, two or more spinal bones are fused together using screws and a cage.
