Spinal Fusion Surgery (Lumbar/Cervical)
Spinal Fusion Surgery (Lumbar/Cervical) Treatment
Treatment Range Hospital in Hyderabad offers advanced spinal fusion surgery for patients with spinal instability, degeneration, or deformities affecting the lumbar or cervical regions. Our expert spine surgeons perform this procedure to fuse two or more vertebrae, providing stability, reducing pain, and improving function in conditions like spondylolisthesis, severe disc degeneration, or scoliosis.
Using modern techniques, including minimally invasive spinal fusion and instrumentation with rods, screws, or bone grafts, we ensure precise alignment and durable results. Both lumbar and cervical fusions are performed with a focus on reducing muscle disruption, minimizing hospital stays, and promoting quicker recovery.
For spinal fusion surgery in Hyderabad, Treatment Range Hospital is a trusted center for comprehensive spine care. With experienced specialists, cutting-edge technology, and patient-centric rehabilitation programs, we help patients regain mobility and lead pain-free lives.
- Your 6 - Phase health Process
Your Complete Spinal Fusion Surgery (Lumbar/Cervical) Journey
🩺 Phase 1: Symptoms Identification
- Chronic neck or lower back pain unresponsive to conservative treatments
- Radiating pain, numbness, or weakness in arms (cervical) or legs (lumbar)
- Instability of the spine (due to spondylolisthesis, fractures, or severe degeneration)
- Difficulty walking or standing for long periods
- Loss of bladder/bowel control (in severe cases – medical emergency)
📋Phase 2: OPD Consultation with Spine Specialist
- Detailed medical history and pain assessment
- Neurological examination: reflexes, muscle strength, sensation
- X-rays and initial imaging to check spinal alignment and disc space
- Discussion of non-surgical treatments tried (physiotherapy, injections, medications)
🧪 Phase 3: Diagnosis & Planning
- MRI or CT scan for detailed view of discs, nerves, and vertebrae
- Assessment of levels requiring fusion (1-level, 2-level, or multi-level fusion)
- Planning surgical approach: Lumbar fusion: Posterior, anterior, or lateral approach
- Cervical fusion: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF)
- Pre-op blood tests and anesthesia evaluation
🔧Phase 4: Treatment Plan
- Spinal Fusion Surgery:Removal of damaged disc or bone causing nerve compression
- Placement of bone graft (patient’s own bone or synthetic substitute) between vertebrae
- Stabilization with screws, rods, or plates to promote fusion
- Procedure under general anesthesia; duration depends on levels fused
🏥 Phase 5: Post-Surgery Care
- Hospital stay: 2–4 days (lumbar) or 1–2 days (cervical)
- Wound care and pain management
- Early mobilization with guidance from physiotherapists
- Painkillers and possible bone growth stimulators prescribed
- Regular X-rays to monitor bone fusion progress
💪 Phase 6: Recovery
- Return to desk work/light activities: 6–8 weeks
- Heavy lifting and high-impact activities avoided for 3–6 months
- Gradual spinal fusion occurs over 6–12 months
- Follow-up visits to ensure proper healing and address stiffness with physiotherapy

Helping you understand Our healthcare
It’s a procedure that permanently connects two or more vertebrae in the spine using bone grafts and metal implants (screws, rods, plates). This eliminates motion between them, reducing pain and stabilizing the spine.
Common indications include:
• Severe spinal instability (due to spondylolisthesis or fractures)
• Degenerative disc disease or arthritis causing chronic pain
• Herniated discs requiring removal and stabilization
• Spinal deformities like scoliosis
• Persistent nerve compression symptoms after failed conservative treatments
- Lumbar Fusion: Targets the lower back (L1-L5) to treat leg pain or back instability.
- Cervical Fusion (ACDF): Targets the neck (C1-C7) to relieve arm pain, numbness, or weakness from compressed nerves.
The procedure usually takes 2–4 hours, depending on the number of levels fused and surgical approach.
Yes, but it is performed safely under general anesthesia. Minimally invasive techniques (MIS) may be used in selected cases for smaller incisions and quicker recovery.
