Hybrid Spine Surgery

A Dual Procedure with the Most Effective Outcome

Schedule Consultation Ask A Question

Hybrid spine surgery is an innovative surgical technique option for patients that need more than one degenerative disc level treated. This procedure joins the stability of a spinal fusion with the mobility of an artificial disc replacement. The surgeons at the VSI were the first in the Nation to perform this surgery.

This modern treatment is focused to resolve pain and get you back your quality of life.

Understanding Hybrid Spine Surgery

Hybrid spine surgery is a customized approach to spine surgery that combines two types of treatment: motion-preserving disc replacement and minimally-invasive spinal fusion.

Artificial disc replacements are used to replace herniated discs that cause pressure on the spinal cord, while spinal fusions are implemented when degenerative discs cause instability within the spine.

Spinal fusions are implemented when degenerative discs cause instability within the spine.

Discover the Advantages of Hybrid Spine Surgery

A hybrid surgery is a combination of spinal fusion and disc replacement. In this surgical plan, the most collapsed, stiff level is fused and the level with motion is replaced. Often times the lowest level or levels are treated with a spinal fusion and the upper level is treated with a disc replacement. By doing this, there are many benefits to the patient.

  • Motion preservation
  • Improved surgical outcomes
  • Decreased adjacent degeneration
  • Restores proper height lost from degenerative discs
  • Tailored to your anatomy and unique needs

The Newest Advance in Cervical & Lumbar Spine Surgery

Hybrid cervical and lumbar spine surgery combines spinal fusion and artificial disc replacement operations to stabilize or align one or more cervical levels while preserving motion at the adjacent levels. This surgical procedure is ideal for patients that have instability in some levels of the spine but would benefit from motion restoration in other levels.

Frequently Asked about Hybrid Spine Surgery

Typically, the conditions that are most likely to be treated through a hybrid surgery are: Degenerative Disc Disease, Radiculopathy, Spinal Stenosis, and Disc Herniations.

The typical hospitalization is one overnight stay in the hospital.

One component of a hybrid surgery is a spinal fusion, therefore we do have you follow typical post-fusion protocol but will go into further detail during your pre-operative appointment.

This combination of hybrid spine surgery has been increasingly utilized over fusion alone for patients with symptomatic multilevel disc degeneration. Hybrid surgery aims to preserve as much segmental motion as possible while minimizing stress to the surrounding levels.
