What is Spinal Fusion surgery ?
Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure used to correct problems with the small bones in the spine (vertebrae). It is essentially a “welding” process. The basic idea is to fuse two or more vertebrae so that they heal into a single, solid bone. This is done to eliminate painful motion or to restore stability to the spine. Spine surgery is usually recommended only when your doctor can pinpoint the source of your pain. To do this, your doctor may use imaging tests, such as x-rays, computerized tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
Which diseases can be treated by Spinal fusion Surgery ?
This is done to eliminate painful motion or to restore stability to the spine. Spinal fusion may help relieve symptoms of many back problems, including:
1. Degenerative disk disease
2. Spondylolisthesis
3. Spinal stenosis
4. Scoliosis
5. Fractured vertebra
6. Infection

What is the cost of spinal fusion surgery in Iran compared to other countries ?
A hospital stay of two to three days is usually required following back surgery. How long depends on many things, like your general fitness level and if you have any other medical conditions. Feeling pain in the back after surgery is normal. You can use prescribed painkillers or injections during this time. Recovering from back surgery takes commitment and work. It could take 6 weeks to some months for your back to fully heal. So, for doing heavy activities such as running, climbing or even driving you have to wait.
How is the procedure ?
Spinal Fusion surgery is usually performed by orthopedic spine surgeons. All back surgery use some type of bone material, called a bone graft, to help promote the fusion. Most autografts are harvested from an area of the pelvis called the “iliac crest.” One alternative to harvesting a bone graft is an allograft, which is cadaver bone. An allograft is typically acquired through a bone bank. Generally, the joint or joints between the damaged or painful disks are removed by the surgeons and small pieces of bone are placed into the space between the vertebrae to be fused. Fusion will take away some spinal flexibility, but most spinal fusions involve only small segments of the spine and do not limit motion very much. After fully heal, patients can do all routine activities the same as before.

Which factors can affect the final cost of back surgery ?
• Surgery method and treatment
• Anesthesia (Full or partial)
• Special medical care before or after surgery
• Insurance
• Hospitalization cost
• Instruments used in the body during surgery (Hooks, Nuts, miles)
• Grafting material
• The unpredictable event which may extend the time of hospitalization
Which countries of Middle East have this technology ?
Concerning the fact that spine surgery needs to be performed by expert surgeons with advanced equipment and technologies, most of the countries in the Middle East are not able to perform it in their countries. Iran is one of the rare countries in the Middle East that affords to do spinal fusion surgery at a highly successful rate. For this reason, a lot of patients from all over the world such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, and Dubai suffering from back diseases travel to our country to perform spinal fusion surgery by our expert surgeons.
There are few medical care centers in our Neighboring Countries such as Jadira Private Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq, and Spine Specialty Hospital in Basra, Iraq developed to perform spinal fusion surgery in recent years. However, there is no specialty hospital to do spinal fusion surgery among our other neighbors such as Afghanistan or Azerbaijan.
Some other Asian countries including S.Korea, Thailand, Turkey, Malaysia, Singapur, Jordan, and India are also developed to perform spinal fusion surgery. Nevertheless, It is notable that the cost of spinal fusion surgery in Iran is the lowest among them (about 10,000 $). For example, the cost of this surgery in S.Korea is about 17,000 $ which is the most expensive one.
If you would like the best neurologist surgeons in Iran’s first-class hospitals to perform your surgery, and at the same time be comfortable and stress-free during your treatment and stay in Iran at a reasonable cost, like your home, take a look at the irntours Spinal Fusion Surgery package. 😊
