At Paracelsus Clinic, Spinal Fusion is performed using advanced spinal instrumentation and personalized surgical planning. Established in 1953, this accredited hospital in Lustmuhle, Switzerland has 95 beds and provides comprehensive orthopedic and neurosurgical services.

Spinal Fusion may be considered when abnormal movement between vertebrae contributes to pain, instability, deformity, or neurological problems and appropriate non-surgical treatment has not provided sufficient relief. The surgeon removes or prepares the affected disc or joint area and places bone graft material to encourage the vertebrae to grow together. Metal implants may be used to hold the spine in the desired position while fusion develops. Pre-operative imaging helps determine the appropriate surgical approach.
