Q&A about Spinal Surgery


Recovery from spine surgery is expected to be a gradual process that can take several months or even years to reach full recovery.

A spine operation, like any surgery, carries risks and possible complications. Although most people recover well from surgery, some may experience side effects and complications.

A spine surgery can be considered a delicate and complex surgery due to the nature of the spine and the proximity of the spinal cord and nerves.

Spine surgery is considered when other treatments have not been effective in relieving symptoms or when the condition of the spine is causing significant disability that affects the patient's quality of life.
Some of the spinal conditions that may require surgery include:
  • Herniated disc: If the herniated disc is pressing on the nerves and causing pain or disability, surgery may be needed to remove the part of the disc that is pressing on the nerves.
  • Spinal stenosis: If spinal stenosis is causing significant pain and disability, surgery may be necessary to relieve pressure on the nerves.
  • Scoliosis: If the curvature of the spine is severe enough and is causing pain or deformity, surgery may be necessary to correct the curvature and relieve symptoms.
  • Vertebral Fractures: If the vertebral fracture is causing pain and disability, surgery may be necessary to stabilize the spine and allow healing.

According to some reports, the cost of spine surgery in Mexico can range between $10,000 and $30,000 Mexican pesos (approximately $500 and $1,500 US dollars).
