Spinal Fusion Procedure
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Spinal fusion may be recommended for:
Treatment for spinal stenosis
After diskectomy in the neck
Injury or fractures to the bones in the spine
Weak or unstable spine caused by infections or tumors
Spondylolisthesis, a condition in which one vertebrae slips forward on top of another
Abnormal curvatures, such as those from scoliosis or kyphosis
Risks
Blood clots in the legs that may travel to the lungs
Breathing problems
Infection, including in the lungs (pneumonia), or bladder or kidney
Blood loss
Heart attack or stroke during surgery
Reactions to medications
Before the Procedure
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the days before the surgery:
If you are a smoker, you need to stop. Patients who have spinal fusion and continue to smoke may not heal as well. Ask your doctor for help.
Two weeks before surgery, your doctor or nurse may ask you to stop taking drugs that make it harder for your blood to clot. These include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), and other drugs like these.
If you have diabetes, heart disease, or other medical problems, your surgeon will ask you to see your regular doctor.
Talk with your doctor if you have been drinking a lot of alcohol.
Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of the surgery.
Always let your doctor know about any cold, flu, fever, herpes breakout, or other illnesses you may have.
On the day of the surgery:
You will usually be asked not to drink or eat anything for 6 to 12 hours before the procedure.
Take your drugs your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
After the Procedure
You will need to stay in the hospital for 3 to 4 days after surgery. The repaired spine should be kept in the right position to maintain alignment.
If the surgery involved a surgical cut in the chest, a chest tube may be used to drain fluid build-up. The tube is usually removed after 24 to 72 hours.
You will receive pain medicines in the hospital. You may have a pump where you control how much pain medicine you get, you may get shots or intravenous (IV) injections, or you may take pain pills.
You will be taught how to move properly and how to sit, stand, and walk. You'll be told to use a "log-rolling" technique when getting out of bed. This means that you move your entire body at once, without twisting your spine.
You may not be able to eat for 2 to 3 days and will be fed through an IV. When you leave the hospital, you may need to wear a back brace or cast.
