posterior, or lateral approaches, depending on the clinical judgment and needs of each patient. The technique involves the insertion of bone grafts between the vertebrae and often the placement of plates or screws to facilitate fixation and ensure complete fusion. <\/p>\n If the surgery is performed via an anterior approach, after the implant is placed, the intestines return to their natural position with the simple removal of the retractors. The only element cut during the entire procedure is the abdominal muscle sheath, which will be sutured at the end of the surgery.[\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” admin_label=”CTA Row” module_class=” et_pb_row_fullwidth” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” max_width=”100%” max_width_tablet=”100%” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” min_height=”406px” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px||” make_fullwidth=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#f6f6f6″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_cta title=”POST-OPERATIVE AND RECOVERY” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ header_font=”–et_global_heading_font|–et_global_heading_font_weight|||||||” header_text_color=”#007BB5″ header_font_size=”30px” header_line_height=”1.3em” body_font=”|–et_global_body_font_weight|||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_line_height=”1.75em” use_background_color=”off” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”9px” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#6caf3f” button_border_width=”10px” button_border_color=”rgba(47,56,84,0)” button_border_radius=”60px” button_letter_spacing=”1px” button_font=”|700||on|||||” button_use_icon=”off” button_alignment=”left” text_orientation=”left” background_layout=”light” max_width=”580px” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_alignment=”right” custom_padding=”100px|60px|100px|25px|false|false” body_font_size_tablet=”17px” body_font_size_phone=”17px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” button_border_radius_hover=”66px” button_letter_spacing_hover=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”on” button_border_radius__hover=”66px” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”on” button_letter_spacing__hover=”1px” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”]<\/p>\n After surgery, the patient may need to wear an orthopedic brace and will require physical therapy to optimize recovery.
