Facetectomy

Facetectomy

A facetectomy is a surgical procedure primarily performed on the spine to alleviate pressure on nerves caused by spinal conditions like spinal stenosis or herniated discs. During a facetectomy, a surgeon removes a portion of the facet joint, a small bony structure that connects vertebrae, to create more space for nerves and relieve compression. This minimally invasive or open surgery aims to address chronic back pain, sciatica, or numbness by accessing the affected area through small incisions or by partially removing the facet joint. The procedure involves meticulous precision to ensure that only the necessary part of the facet joint is removed while preserving spinal stability. Post-surgery, patients may experience reduced nerve compression, potentially leading to decreased pain and improved mobility. Rehabilitation often follows, focusing on strengthening exercises and physical therapy to aid recovery and restore function. As with any surgical intervention, a facetectomy carries risks such as infection, nerve damage, or spinal instability, which require careful consideration and discussion between the patient and their healthcare provider before proceeding with the procedure. Follow-up care and adherence to post-operative guidelines are crucial for a successful recovery.
