Hello Ramesh Ji,
Thank you for your message. It’s good to know that your mother has had all the tests, including an MRI, blood test, and X-ray, done. Since the doctor mentioned a neurology-related issue, we need more clarity before proceeding.
What neurological problem has the doctor mentioned, with its treatment?
Has your primary doctor suggested lumbar spine surgery (L/S spinal surgery) for a specific condition, like slip disc, nerve compression, spinal stenosis, or disc herniation?
Once we know this, the treatment can be planned appropriately.
If surgery is required, here are the types often used:
Discectomy or Microdiscectomy:
Removes part of a herniated disc pressing on a nerve
Minimally invasive with quick recovery
Laminectomy:
Removes part of the bone or ligament to relieve pressure on spinal nerves
Often done for spinal stenosis
Spinal Fusion:
Joins two or more vertebrae to stabilise the spine
May be advised in case of spinal instability or severe degeneration
Relieves leg pain, back pain, and nerve compression
Improves movement and walking ability
Prevents nerve damage if done at the right time
Improves quality of life and daily function
