Lumbar Corpectomy Overview

• It is a surgical treatment for back pain caused due to compression of spinal cord and nerves.
• This compression occurs when diseased or damaged vertebrae bone block and pinch the spinal cord.
• Spinal fracture, tumour, or infections are the major reasons for the damage of the vertebrae, which in turn cause compression of the spinal nerves.
• In this procedure:
  • The damaged or diseased vertebrae bone along with the discs above and below the bone are removed.
  • The vertebral space after the removal is cleared and prepared to receive a bone graft.
  • The space is then closed by inserting a bone graft tightly into the space.
  • A metal plate called Zplate is fixed as a bridge between the bone graft and the adjoining vertebrae.  This plate keeps the area secure while the bone heals.
  • During the healing process, the bone graft fuses with the adjoining vertebrae, creating one solid bone segment.
