Spine infection treatment focuses on eradicating infectious agents from the spinal column and stabilizing the affected area. Mr. Irfan Malik use advanced surgical techniques alongside antibiotics to ensure effective management of the infection, minimizing the risk of complications and promoting optimal recovery.
Minimally invasive procedure, small incisions.
Reduced trauma to surrounding tissues.
Shorter surgery time and faster recovery.
Spine infections, also known as spinal infections, are serious conditions that can affect the vertebrae, invertebral discs, or surrounding soft tissues. Infections such as discitis, vertebral osteomyelitis, epidural abcesses can cause significant pain, neurological deficits and long-term damage if left untreated.
Spine infection treatment is essential when infections lead to symptoms such as severe back pain, fever, neurological deficits or loss of function. Common conditions that require intervention include:
Before surgery, your healthcare provider will evaluate the extent of the infection using imaging studies and lab tests. You may be instructed to stop certain medications, such as blood thinners, to reduce surgical risks antibiotic therapy will usually be initiated prior to surgery to help control the infection, and you will have a consultation with your surgeon to address any concerns.
Surgical intervention for spine infections typically involves drainage abscesses, removing infected tissues, or stabilizing the affected spinal segments. Using imaging guidance, the surgeon makes a small incision to access the infected area. The goal is to eliminate the infection while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. In severe cases, spinal fusion or instrumentation may be required to maintain spinal stability. Antibiotic therapy will continue post-surgery to ensure the infection is fully eradicated.
Following surgery, patients usually remain in the hospital for several days to monitor recovery and continue intravenous antibiotic therapy. Physical therapy may be recommended to restore movement and strength. Patients should avoid strenuous activities, such as bending or lifting during the initial recovery period, typically lasting 6-8 weeks. Regular follow up visits are crucial to monitor healing and ensure the infection has been completely cleared.
