How do you do surgery one l5 s1?
Surgery at the L5-S1 level typically involves a procedure known as lumbar discectomy or spinal fusion, depending on the patient's condition. The surgeon makes an incision in the lower back, accesses the spine, and may remove herniated disc material or stabilize the vertebrae with bone grafts and instrumentation. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and imaging techniques like fluoroscopy or MRI guide the surgery. Post-operative care includes pain management and physical therapy to aid recovery.
Do to scoliosis and your l5-s1 disc was broken they took a bone out of your hip and put it in spine?
It sounds like you underwent a spinal fusion surgery due to scoliosis and a broken L5-S1 disc. In this procedure, a bone graft was taken from your hip to help stabilize the spine and encourage fusion between the affected vertebrae. This approach aims to alleviate pain, restore alignment, and improve overall spinal function. Recovery may take time, but it can lead to significant improvements in quality of life.
What is posterior disc herniation of the L5 S1 impinging on the anterior aspect of the spinal cord?
Posterior means "rear" - Anterior means "front. What the report is saying is that the L5/S1 disk is herniated at the back of the disk (posterior) and is impinging on the front of the spinal cord as a result. This is very common for that particular disk, as well as the L4/5 disk.

What is Lumbosacral junctiion with lumbarization of s1?
The lumbosacral junction refers to the area where the lumbar spine meets the sacrum, specifically at the L5-S1 level. Lumbarization of S1 is a congenital condition in which the first sacral vertebra (S1) does not fuse with the sacrum, effectively behaving like an additional lumbar vertebra. This can lead to variations in spinal structure and may contribute to lower back pain or other issues due to altered biomechanics. It's important to assess this condition in the context of the individual's overall spinal health.
What is displacement of the bilateral L5 nerve roots in the neuroforamen and displacement of the left S1 nerve root as it exits the canal?
