"I'd like to highly commend Dr Ledesma and his medical staff as well as his office staff for everything that transpired from day one until the follow-up appt involving the surgery of my lumbar area surgery. Each and every person that had something to do either directly or indirectly was in every possible way excellent in the execution of their job functions. All persons were also very sociable, well educated, and respectful in every way possible. The surgery I had entailed going into my lower back and perform a Right Medical Branch Transection of 3 nerves. Dr Ledesma evidently did a perfect job because I can honestly say that the pain I had previous to the surgery when walking no more than 150 feet is now gone. We still have a couple of more surgeries to go before he is done with the entire process but I have full faith in him in any future surgeries. Thanks to Dr Ledesma and his entire staff including a young lady whose nickname is K K."

What is Spine Surgery?

Spinal surgery is the subspecialty that uses surgery to restore the normal function of the spine when things go wrong due to trauma, disease, or other disorders. There are many ways that the spine can begin to hurt or lose the ability to move properly, and surgery is not always necessary. However, when surgery is needed, there's no one more qualified for the job than a spine surgeon.

Spinal surgery can be considered a subspecialty of either orthopedics or neurosurgery. That means that a spine surgeon may take either path to this specific career, training first as either an orthopedist or a neurosurgeon. Orthopedics deals mainly with the structural issues of the back and spine: the bones, muscles, and joints. Neurosurgery deals mainly with issues of the brain, nerves, and spinal cord. So when choosing a spine surgeon, it is sometimes possible that a surgeon's background will have a bearing on someone's particular diagnosis. However, in most cases, it doesn't matter. Either an orthopedist-spine surgeon or a neurosurgeon-spine surgeon can handle the majority of spine surgeries. What is more important is that some spine surgeons specialize in specific areas of the spine, such as lumbar surgery or cervical surgery. In that case, it is important to connect with a surgeon who is experienced with a patient's particular need.

Some of the surgeries performed on the spine include:

Correction of spinal deformities, such as scoliosis
Spinal fusion
Minimally invasive spine surgery, including decompression surgeries such as discectomy and laminectomy
Balloon kyphoplasty, a procedure done to repair compression fractures in vertebrae

The spine is a very complicated piece of the body's machinery, and a very necessary part of movement and function. It holds people up and allows them move. Having a working spine is important, and having a skilled surgeon when spinal surgery is needed is critical.
