Natasha describes her recovery from Degenerative Disc Disease Surgery. The exclusive Bonati Spine Procedures for Degenerative Disc Disease Surgery are outpatient procedures.
Degenerative disc disease is not necessarily a disease, but is instead a term used to describe changes in the spinal discs as we age.
Degenerative disc disease describes these changes, some of which can lead to certain spine conditions, including:
~ Bulging disc
~ Spondylosis
~ Pinched nerves
~ Foraminal stenosis
~ Radiculitis
~ Sciatica
~ Cervical or lumbar spinal stenosis or spondylolisthesis, or the narrowing of the spinal canal
~ Osteoarthritis, the breakdown of the cartilage that protects and cushions joints

Degenerative Disc Disease Surgery may include:
Discectomy
A discectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove a portion of a bulging or herniated disc which is pressing on the spinal cord and/or spinal nerve roots.
Laminectomy/Laminotomy
A laminectomy/laminotomy is a decompressing surgery that relieves pressure on the spinal nerves. This procedure is performed one vertebral level at a time, to address the primary cause of the pain first. A laminectomy/laminotomy is performed through a small opening through which a series of tubes are introduced to accommodate surgical tools and imaging equipment. The lamina is then accessed through an arthroscope, and small portions of the lamina are removed to release the pressure from the spinal nerves.
Foraminectomy/Foraminotomy
Foramina are small openings present between every pair of vertebrae in the spine. If a part of the foramen is pressing on a nerve as it leaves the vertebral opening, a foraminectomy/foraminotomy may be performed. This procedure uses local anesthesia and conscious IV sedation to allow surgeons to target the source of the pain with precise accuracy. The tissue compressing the nerves is removed with a set of surgical instruments inserted through a very small incision.
Facet Thermal Ablation
A Facet Thermal Ablation is a laser eradication of sensory nerves causing pain.
Laser Debridement
Debridement is the surgical removal of torn, inflamed, contaminated, damaged or dead tissue. Debridement may be completed in the lumbar, thoracic or cervical spine. Laser debridement involves using a laser to obliterate the tissue.
