Procedure Performed

• Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF)

Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure aimed at relieving neck or arm pain caused by pressure on the spinal nerves due to a herniated or degenerative disc. This surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments like physical therapy or medications have not been effective. During ACDF, a surgeon accesses the damaged disc from the front of the neck, making an incision through the throat area. This approach allows for the removal of the disc without disturbing the spinal cord, spinal nerves, or major neck muscles. Depending on the patient's condition, one or more discs may be removed. To prevent the vertebrae from collapsing and to maintain spinal stability, a bone graft spacer is inserted into the empty disc space. This graft acts as a bridge, facilitating the fusion of the vertebrae. Metal plates and screws are used to secure the graft and vertebrae in place, ensuring proper alignment and promoting spinal fusion.

• Fracture fixation - plating

Fracture fixation using plating is a widely performed orthopedic surgery to treat broken bones. Advances in tools and techniques have greatly enhanced the success rate of this procedure, making it possible to plate nearly any type of fracture. The surgery can be performed using open surgery, where the fracture is directly exposed, or minimally invasive techniques, which involve visualizing the fracture through X-ray imaging. The primary goal is to realign the injured bone and protect it from daily stresses, facilitating an early return to normal function. The implants used in this procedure are typically made of either stainless steel or titanium. The choice of material is less important since the implant becomes redundant once the bone heals and can be removed during a subsequent elective surgery.

• Brain tumor surgery

Brain tumor surgery for a frontal tumor involves a meticulous process to ensure the effective removal of the tumor while preserving brain function. The procedure begins with an incision on the frontal scalp, followed by the elevation of a scalp flap. Using a drill or osteotomes, the surgeon raises a bone flap to access the underlying structures. Once the bone flap is removed, the dura mater (the outer membrane covering the brain) is carefully cut open.

With the dura opened, the surgeon locates the tumor and proceeds with its decompression until the brain's pulsations indicate a return to adequate function. Hemostasis, the process of securing and stopping any bleeding, is meticulously achieved to ensure a clear and safe surgical field. After the tumor has been effectively decompressed, the dura is closed with continuous suturing.

The bone flap is then replaced and secured in position using plates and screws. Finally, the scalp flap is sutured back in two layers to ensure proper healing.
