My grand father was suffering from severe pain in spinal cord. We took him to Medicover Hospitals and there he went through a complex spine surgery. I would like to show my gratitude towards the hospital for taking proper care of my grand father.

Dr. Srikanth Reddy is the best neurosurgeon in Hyderabad. When my grandfather got a tumor in the spinal cord, Dr. Srikanth Reddy done the surgery with lots of care. Now my grandfather was healthy, with no issues.

What is Vertebroplasty?

The procedure of vertebroplasty is done to treat fractures in the spine. The bones that make up the spinal column are called vertebrae. They protect and surround your spinal cord. When a vertebra breaks, it compresses, narrowing the space around the spinal cord. This can cause discomfort. An acrylic cement mixture is injected into the damaged vertebra during vertebroplasty. The cement mixture fills in and reinforces the damaged vertebra to ease the pain.

When is Vertebroplasty Performed?

Vertebroplasty can be performed when,

  • Before a surgical operation, a vertebral bone or many vertebrae are reinforced.
  • The bones get weaker due to a lack of minerals
  • Cancerous tumours weaken the bones in the spine, increasing the risk for compression fractures. Vertebral compression fractures happen when bones in the spine become weak.
  • A person is too frail, or his bones are too weak for open surgery.
  • Bone death due to necrosis

How is Vertebroplasty Performed?

Vertebroplasty is just an hour long if it is for one vertebra.

During the procedure, with a local anaesthetic injection, the radiologist numbs the skin and muscles. Then, a needle is inserted through the skin and into the damaged spinal vertebra. Real-time X-rays guide proper needle placement, and medical-grade cement is injected into the vertebra. Within 15 to 20 minutes, the cement hardens.

How can you Prepare Yourself for Vertebroplasty?

You can get ready for vertebroplasty by doing the following:

  • Taking or discontinuing drugs according to the instructions. Not taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or blood thinners is one example.
  • Answering all questions regarding your medical history and current drugs. Prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, herbal therapies, and vitamins are all included. A current list of your medical conditions, medications, and allergies should be carried with you
  • Before vertebroplasty, follow all dietary and drinking directions.
  • Organizing a ride home

What to Expect After Vertebroplasty?

Vertebroplasty can provide instant pain relief for some patients, but it can also cause a transient increase in back discomfort or pain at the injection site, which can linger for several hours. The patient is advised to apply cold packs to relieve pain and take their pain medicine as prescribed by their doctor. It could take up to three days to be
completely pain-free
