Fusion of an additional segment of the spine is a surgical procedure to join two or more vertebrae together. This is done to stabilize the spine and reduce pain or correct a deformity. The procedure involves using bone grafts, rods, or screws to secure the spine.

This procedure involves the partial removal of a bone in your spine to alleviate pressure on your spinal cord or nerves. It may be performed on multiple spine segments depending on your condition. The aim is to improve mobility and reduce pain or discomfort.

Harvest of bone for spine surgery graft involves taking a small piece of bone from one area of your body, often the hip, to use in your spine surgery. This bone graft helps promote healing and stability in the spine by providing a framework for new, natural bone to grow on.

Fusion of the spine in the lower back, also known as lumbar spinal fusion, is a surgery aimed to join, or fuse, two or more vertebrae in your lower back. This procedure can help alleviate pain and improve stability by reducing movement between the vertebrae.
