Coccygectomy

Coccygectomy

Coccygectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at removing part or all of the coccyx, the small triangular bone at the base of the spine, commonly referred to as the tailbone. This intervention is typically considered when conservative treatments like medication, physical therapy, or injections fail to alleviate chronic coccyx pain caused by injury, trauma, or structural issues. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, with the patient lying face down. A small incision is made near the coccyx, allowing the surgeon to access and carefully remove the affected portion of the bone. In some cases, the entire coccyx may need extraction. Post-surgery, patients usually experience some discomfort and require pain management. Recovery time varies, but patients often need several weeks to resume normal activities. Rehabilitation involving gentle exercises and physical therapy might be recommended to regain strength and mobility in the lower back and pelvis. Although coccygectomy can offer relief from persistent tailbone pain, it's essential to discuss potential risks and benefits with a healthcare professional before considering this surgical option. Complications such as infection, nerve damage, or ongoing discomfort can occur, and thorough evaluation and careful consideration are crucial before proceeding with the procedure.
