Spinal Fusion
Stabilize Your Spine. Relieve Pain. Restore Your Quality of Life.
Why Choose Spinal Fusion
Spinal Fusion is an advanced neurosurgical procedure designed to permanently connect two or more vertebrae in the spine, eliminating painful movement between them and restoring spinal stability. It is one of the most effective surgical solutions for patients suffering from debilitating spinal instability, severe disc degeneration, spinal deformities, and other complex spinal conditions that have not responded to conservative treatment approaches.
At Dr. Baraa Al Hafez Medical Center, our Spinal Fusion procedures are performed by our highly experienced Neurosurgery Specialist, Dr. Amjad Alsaeed, who brings exceptional expertise in advanced spinal surgical techniques. Our team is committed to delivering the highest standard of neurosurgical care, ensuring every patient receives a thoroughly evaluated, precisely planned, and expertly executed surgical procedure that achieves lasting spinal stability and meaningful pain relief.
We understand that spinal conditions causing chronic pain, instability, or neurological symptoms can severely impact every aspect of daily life. Spinal Fusion offers a proven, long-lasting surgical solution that addresses the root cause of spinal instability and delivers life-changing results. At Dr. Baraa Al Hafez Medical Center in Sharjah, our dedicated neurosurgical team is committed to restoring your spinal health, comfort, and quality of life through expert, precision surgical care.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your Spinal Fusion journey begins with a comprehensive neurosurgical consultation during which Dr. Amjad Alsaeed will thoroughly review your symptoms, medical history, and imaging results including MRI, CT scans, and X-rays to accurately assess your spinal condition and determine whether Spinal Fusion is the most appropriate surgical solution for your specific case. A complete neurological examination is performed to evaluate the extent of nerve involvement and spinal instability.
The Spinal Fusion procedure is performed under general anesthesia using advanced surgical techniques tailored to the specific location and nature of your spinal condition. Bone grafts, surgical implants such as rods, screws, and cages are used to stabilize and fuse the affected vertebrae, eliminating painful movement and restoring normal spinal alignment. Our neurosurgeon selects the most appropriate surgical approach — anterior, posterior, or lateral — based on your individual anatomy and condition.
Following surgery, our team provides comprehensive post-operative care including pain management, neurological monitoring, and wound care to ensure a safe and smooth recovery. A personalized physiotherapy rehabilitation program is arranged to restore spinal strength, mobility, and function progressively and safely. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor fusion progress and ensure the best possible long-term outcomes at Dr. Baraa Al Hafez Medical Center in Sharjah, UAE.

FAQ
Answers to common questions about our services, care approach, and appointments.
What is Spinal Fusion?
Spinal Fusion is a neurosurgical procedure that permanently connects two or more vertebrae using bone grafts and surgical implants to eliminate painful spinal movement, restore stability, and relieve chronic pain caused by spinal instability or degeneration.
What conditions require Spinal Fusion surgery?
Spinal Fusion is recommended for conditions including severe disc degeneration, spinal instability, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, spinal fractures, spinal deformities such as scoliosis, and recurrent disc herniation causing persistent pain and neurological symptoms.
How is Spinal Fusion performed?
Spinal Fusion is performed under general anesthesia using bone grafts and surgical implants including rods, screws, and cages to stabilize and fuse the affected vertebrae. Our neurosurgeon selects the most appropriate surgical approach based on your specific spinal condition.
How long does Spinal Fusion surgery take?
Surgery duration varies depending on the number of vertebrae being fused and the complexity of the case. Procedures typically range from two to six hours. Our neurosurgeon will provide a detailed timeline during your pre-operative consultation.
Is Spinal Fusion a permanent solution?
Yes. Spinal Fusion creates a permanent bond between the fused vertebrae, eliminating painful movement at that spinal segment and providing long-lasting spinal stability and pain relief for the vast majority of appropriately selected patients.
How long is recovery after Spinal Fusion?
Recovery from Spinal Fusion typically takes three to six months for initial healing, with full fusion and maximum functional improvement taking up to twelve months. Our team provides comprehensive rehabilitation support throughout your entire recovery journey.
Will I need physiotherapy after Spinal Fusion?
Yes. Post-operative physiotherapy is an essential component of Spinal Fusion recovery, helping restore spinal strength, flexibility, and function while protecting the fusion and preventing complications. Our team arranges a personalized rehabilitation program for every patient.
Will Spinal Fusion limit my movement?
Spinal Fusion eliminates movement at the fused spinal segment, which may result in some reduction in spinal flexibility. However, most patients experience a significant overall improvement in quality of life and functional ability following successful surgery and rehabilitation.

No referral is required. You can book directly with our Neurosurgery team at Dr. Baraa Al Hafez Medical Center and receive a full neurosurgical consultation with Dr. Amjad Alsaeed from your very first visit.
