About Lordosis

Lordosis surgery is a specialized spinal procedure performed to correct an excessive inward curvature of the spine in the lower back (lumbar region) or neck (cervical region). This condition, known as hyperlordosis, can cause significant pain, nerve compression, and postural imbalance. The goal of the surgery is to restore the spine's natural alignment, relieve pressure on nerves, and improve overall function. Surgeons typically use spinal fusion techniques, often with instrumentation like rods, screws, and bone grafts, to stabilize the corrected segment. This procedure is considered when conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, and bracing have failed to provide adequate relief. It aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent further progression of the deformity.

Key Highlights

    Corrects abnormal spinal curvature to improve posture and alignment.Alleviates chronic back or neck pain and associated nerve symptoms (radiculopathy).Prevents further progression of the spinal deformity and potential complications.Can significantly enhance mobility, flexibility, and overall quality of life.Utilizes advanced surgical techniques and instrumentation for precise correction and stability.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Severe, progressive hyperlordosis causing chronic pain unresponsive to conservative management (physical therapy, medications).
  • Neurological deficits such as leg weakness, numbness, or bowel/bladder dysfunction due to nerve compression.
  • Significant postural imbalance or deformity impacting daily activities and respiratory function.
  • Underlying conditions like spondylolisthesis, disc degeneration, or congenital spinal abnormalities contributing to the lordosis.
  • Persistent pain that severely limits work, sleep, and quality of life.

How to prepare

  • Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including spine imaging (X-rays, MRI, CT scan) and cardiac/pulmonary tests.
  • Discuss all current medications with the surgeon; may need to stop blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) days before surgery.
  • Maintain a healthy diet and refrain from smoking to optimize healing.
  • Arrange for post-operative support at home for assistance during recovery.
  • Follow pre-operative fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight before surgery).

Risks & possible complications

  • General surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
  • Nerve injury potentially leading to weakness, numbness, or paralysis.
  • Failure of bone fusion (pseudarthrosis), requiring additional surgery.
  • Hardware complications like implant loosening, breakage, or discomfort.
  • Adjacent segment disease, where spinal levels above or below the fusion degenerate faster.
  • Persistent pain or incomplete correction of the deformity.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Hospital stay typically involves pain management, monitoring, and initial physical therapy to begin walking.
  • Wearing a back brace for several weeks to months to support the spine as it heals.
  • Gradual return to activities; avoid heavy lifting, twisting, and bending for the first 3-6 months.
  • Attend all follow-up appointments for imaging to check fusion progress.
  • Commit to a prescribed physical therapy program to strengthen core muscles and improve flexibility.
  • Full recovery and bone fusion can take 6 months to a year or more.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 4-7 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 3-6 months for initial recovery; 6-12 months for full fusion and activity resumption
