Lordosis Treatment in Turkey
About Lordosis
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.
-
Typical hospital stay:
4-7 days
-
Expected recovery time:
3-6 months for initial recovery; 6-12 months for full fusion and activity resumption
