Different Personal Injury Surgeries
Below, we explain some of the surgical procedures your accident injuries may require.
Back Surgery
Motor vehicle accidents can result in severe back injuries. These can include broken or dislocated vertebra, herniated discs, and torn tissues. So, you may need back surgery to fix these issues. Notably, though, there are several types of back surgery, including:
- Discectomy: Discectomy is the removal of herniated discs. A surgeon can remove the discs to relieve pressure, irritation, and compression on the nerves.
- Laminectomy/Laminotomy: These surgeries refer to openings over the nerve or spinal cord to relieve compression on these structures. They’re also both decompression surgeries.
- Spinal Fusion or Decompression: Spinal fusion is one of the most popular spine surgeries. Here, a surgeon takes the pressure off of “pinched” nerves or the spinal cord. This surgery also aims at stabilizing the spine. It’s called spinal fusion because the surgeon removes the spinal disk between two or more vertebrae. Then, the adjacent vertebrae are fused using bone grafts or metal devices.
Brain Surgery
Personal injury accident victims sometimes need brain surgery too. This would be the case where they sustained any head injuries during the mishap. Brain surgery could also be necessary for:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Internal bleeding
- Blood clots
- Damaged “dura”
- Nerve damage or irritation
- Skull fracture
- Fluid in the brain
Notably, there are different types of brain surgery. Some of them are:
- Biopsy
- Craniotomy
- Minimally invasive endonasal endoscopic surgery
- Deep brain stimulation
- Minimally invasive neuroendoscopy
Brain surgeries are pretty risky. So, it’ll be best to ensure that you need such surgery. Then, if you must, let a reputable doctor and surgeon handle the operation.
Dental Surgery
An accident victim may also need dental surgery. Dental care is necessary after mishaps where the victim’s face or mouth hit the road. It could also be that they hit the steering wheel or some other object. Consequently, the victim may need to fix their teeth. Conversely, some people may need dental implants to prevent speech defects.
Surgeries for Internal Injuries and Bleeding
Accidents also leave survivors with internal organ damage. For example, external objects can penetrate and pierce or tear an organ. Such internal injuries can then lead to internal bleeding. Consequently, a patient would need surgery to fix this problem. For example, specialists may prescribe minimal or extensive internal surgery. The extent and nature of the injury usually determine the approach, though.
Knee Surgery
Your knee is one of your most vulnerable body parts if a car accident occurs. Your sitting position could even increase your chances of a knee injury or dislocation. In addition, when a crash occurs, the vehicle could trap your legs or bash them. So, after such experience, knee surgery becomes necessary to regain full functioning.
Plastic Surgery
Car accident injuries often affect the skin and may even cause some disfigurement. This would usually be the case if there were burns, scarring, or scratching of the body. Importantly, essential body parts are those that are easily visible too. These would include your face, neck, arms, hands, and legs.
Therefore, you may need a plastic surgeon to fix these body parts. Notably, plastic surgery is also called cosmetic surgery. An excellent surgeon can guarantee the restoration and reconstruction of affected body parts. Consequently, your body wouldn’t tell tales of your accident.
