Access personalized Thoracic Interbody Fusion care using advanced medical technology, supported by expert specialists and dedicated international patient services.
Bishops Wood Hospital provides specialized Thoracic Interbody Fusion with an emphasis on restoring thoracic spinal stability, maintaining alignment, and supporting long-term fusion. Established in 1979, the accredited hospital is based in Northwood, United Kingdom and has 42 beds supported by modern neurosurgical and orthopedic facilities.
Thoracic Interbody Fusion involves removing a damaged thoracic intervertebral disc and placing a structural implant between the adjacent vertebrae. Bone graft material is added to facilitate the formation of a solid fusion between the vertebral bodies. Depending on the patient's diagnosis, the procedure may also include decompression of the spinal cord or nerves and posterior fixation with screws and rods. Preoperative MRI, CT, and X-rays help assess spinal alignment, disc damage, bone quality, and the structures requiring treatment.
