Spinal Stenosis and Spine Surgery | Medical Animation

Discover everything you need to know about spinal stenosis, a condition marked by the narrowing of spaces in the backbone or spinal column, in this comprehensive medical animation. 🎬 Learn how this narrowing can exert pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots, causing symptoms like pain and numbness. 🩺 Explore the anatomy of the spinal column, composed of vertebrae that form a protective canal for spinal cord nerves, and understand how nerve roots branch off to different parts of the body. 🧠 Uncover the three primary ways spinal stenosis affects the spine: squeezing of the spinal cord in the spinal canal, narrowing of the space between vertebrae, or constriction of bony canals through which nerve roots pass. 📉 Gain insight into when surgery may be recommended, particularly in cases of severe pain and numbness. 💡 Dive deeper into the two most common types of spine surgeries for spinal stenosis: laminectomy and foraminotomy. During a laminectomy, a portion of the vertebra called the lamina is removed to create more space for the nerves. In a foraminotomy, excess bone and tissue are removed from the foramen, the space in the spine where nerve roots exit, to alleviate pressure on the nerve root. In certain instances, fusion of bones in the lower back with bone grafts may be necessary. 🔍 Stay informed and empowered about spinal stenosis and spine surgery with this detailed medical animation.
