Spinal Fusion Benefits Spinal fusion benefits often help alleviate pain from compression of spinal nerves due to excessive vertebral motion or slippage. The majority of patients who undergo a laminectomy with spinal fusion experience considerable relief from back pain symptoms from conditions such as spinal stenosis (Houten, 2003).
Lumbar Spinal Fusion is the. placement of screws, rods and cages. to steady the spine. This is done. because the spine is unstable. because of an injury, or because the. spine needs to be fixed in place. because of pain. This surgery often includes the. removal of part of or all of the bone. that covers the back of the spinal column called the lamina. The lamina may be. causing tightness around the spinal cord or nerve(s). The surgery helps to. decrease the irritation or inflammation to that area. Any arthritic changes or. disc material pressing on the nerve root(s) may also be removed.
