How to fill out lumbar decompression and pedicle

1. To fill out a lumbar decompression and pedicle, follow these steps:
2. Position the patient correctly on the operating table and ensure they are adequately anesthetized.
3. Make an incision in the lower back to gain access to the lumbar spine.
4. Identify the affected vertebrae and prepare the area by removing any soft tissue or bone spurs that may be causing compression.
5. Use a burr or drill to create a hole in the pedicle of the vertebra. This will serve as an entry point for the screws used in the fusion.
6. Carefully place screws into the pedicle, ensuring they are secure and in the correct position.
7. Attach rods or plates to the screws to stabilize the spine and promote fusion.
8. Close the incision with sutures or staples and apply appropriate dressings.
9. Monitor the patient closely postoperatively to ensure they recover well.
