Thoracic Spine Surgery

Thoracic Spine Surgery in Dubai at Emirates Hospitals Group. The thoracic spine, often referred to as the mid-back, is the upper section of your spine located between your cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions.

Injuries, disc problems, or disc degeneration can cause chronic pain and limit mobility. At Emirates our multidisciplinary team will explore all non-surgical treatment options as well as consider thoracic spine surgery in specific cases.

Thoracic Spine Treatment in Dubai at Emirates Hospitals

Decompression Procedures:

• Thoracoscopy: A minimally invasive technique utilizing a camera and instruments inserted through small chest incisions for decompression.

Disc Procedures:

• Thoracic Microdiscectomy: Similar to the lumbar spine, this removes a herniated disc fragment pressing on a nerve using a small incision and a microscope.

Fusion Procedures:

• Posterior Thoracic Fusion: Joins two or more vertebrae together using bone grafts or implants to eliminate painful motion and provide stability. This can be combined with decompression procedures for a more comprehensive approach.

The type of surgery depends on the underlying cause of your back pain and symptoms. Our spine surgeons will consider X-rays, MRIs, and your medical history to determine the most suitable course of treatment for you.
