Spine comprises of not only bone but also the soft and most sensitive structure of body. We call it Spinal Cord. Slightest trauma to spinal cord can lead to devastating results and may cripple the life for ever. Operating on spine requires knowledge of understanding the biomechanics, anatomy and function of bone and spinal cord and the relation between the two. Spine surgeries are equally complex as brain surgeries are. Microscope, Navigation, Intraoperative Neuromonitoring systems and high speed drills add to the safety of the spine surgeries.
Spine surgeon should also know the conditions, where not to operate.
Surgeries on spine are performed for:
- Trauma like fractures
- Spondylosis
- Slip Discs
- Spine tumors
- Spondylolisthesis, where fusion procedure is required
- Pediatric Spine Surgeries like Split cord malformation, lipomyelomeningocele, meningocele etc
Dr. Bansal has been operating on Spine for last almost 17 years and is well known in Neurosurgical community for complex spine procedures.
