Scoliosis Surgery for Straightening Spine Curve

Surgery is mainly used to treat severe scoliosis. The main aim of surgery is to improve a severe spinal curve. The result might not be a perfectly straight spine, but the main aim is to balance the spine and to make sure the curve does not get as worse as before. Surgery mainly involves stabilizing the spine and from keeping the curve from getting worse by permanently joining the vertebrae together.

Which are the things to be considered before surgery?
Things which are considered before surgery include:

• The age of the child.
• The size, direction, and location of the curve present in the spine.
• Whether any other treatment option such as bracing, has failed.

When is surgery really considered?
Surgery may be considered if:

• The child has a moderate to severe curve and the curve is getting worse with time.
• The child has pain or trouble doing his or her daily activities.

Which are the different Surgery options?
The main type of surgery for scoliosis involves the attaching of rods to the spine and doing a spinal infusion. Spinal fusion is mainly used to stabilize and reduce the size of the curve and also to stop the curve from getting worse. This is done by permanently joining the vertebrae into a solid mass of bone.
Other techniques may also be used, including instrumentation with fusion. In this technique the devices such as metal rods to the spine are attached to stabilize a spinal curve. In this procedure there is no fusing of the spine together. This is only done in very young children when a fusion which stops the growth of the fused part of the spine is not desirable. The child has to wear a brace full-time after this surgery.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Treatment

The subarachnoid space is the space where the cerebrospinal fluid circulates and is responsible for protecting the brain from serious injuries by helping as a cushion. Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is known as bleeding within the subarachnoid space which is the area between the brain and tissues that cover the brain. Any kind of injury in the subarachnoid space might cause stroke, paralysis and even sudden death.
Symptoms of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH):
During the SAH development, it gives several symptoms. The main symptom is sudden onset of a severe headache at the skull base. Some people will have popping sensation in the head before the start of SAH. Other SAH symptoms are

• Nausea, vomiting
• Shoulder pain, Neck pain
• Confusion, irritability
• Light sensitivity, decreased vision
• Alertness loss
• Numbness in the entire body
• Seizures

Causes of SAH
The causes of SAH arise from various factors. The main causes are said to be

• Bleeding disorders
• Berry aneurysm (an aneurysm is an abnormality in the brain arteries)
• Usage of blood thinners
• Bleeding from an arteriovenous malformation
• Weakening of artery or a balloon-like bulge that ruptures and releases blood into the subarachnoid space around the brain (Aneurysm)
• Brain injury

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Diagnosis:
During the physical examination, SAH is mostly detected. The patient may be found with a vision problem and stiff neck. To know more about the hemorrhage severity some tests will be prescribed by the neurosurgeon to give the patient a proper treatment.

• Computerized tomography (CT) is followed with contrast dye procedure to get a precise conclusion
• MRI scans provide detailed brain images
• A transactional ultrasound that detects the blood flow in the arteries within the brain
• In Cerebral angiography, X-rays are taken with injected dye to detect the brain blood flow

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Treatment:
Instant treatment will save the life and prevent the possibility of brain damage.

• To stop the bleeding surgery is performed to clip the aneurysm
• After clipping the aneurysm, a craniotomy is performed to close the aneurysm. Endovascular technique may be used to reduce the risk of further bleeding
• If SAH causes coma, the patient is supported with artificial ventilation, placing draining tube in the brain to relieve pressure
• If the patient does not lose consciousness strict instruction will be given by the doctor to get relieved from brain pressure
• Medications may be prescribed for relieving severe headache, regulating blood pressure through intravenous, preventing seizures.
