"I am Sunitha Rajaram Avhad. I underwent spine fixation surgery at Medicover Hospitals, performed by Dr Sandesh Raghunath Gite. I am feeling better now and appreciate the doctor's guidance and care."
What is Spine Fixation?
Spine fixation is a surgical procedure used to stabilize spinal vertebrae when they are weakened or damaged.
It is performed to manage conditions like:
- Spinal instability
- Spinal stenosis
- Spondylolisthesis
- Severe disc degeneration
In this procedure:
- Metal screws and rods are used to secure affected vertebrae
- Movement in the unstable area is restricted
- Spinal alignment and strength are improved
The L4-L5 region commonly requires fixation as it supports a major portion of body weight and is prone to wear and tear.
Treatment Provided at Medicover Hospitals
At Medicover Hospitals Sangamner, Mrs Avhad received:
- Spine evaluation, including imaging of the L4-L5 segment
- L4-L5 Spine Fixation Surgery to stabilize vertebrae
- Internal fixation using pedicle screws and rods
- Post-operative monitoring and guided recovery plan
The surgery resulted in improved stability and a reduction in pain.
