Summary

Now a days, due to the change in lifestyle, the extended lifespan and the increase in the rate of the road accidents, the need for surgical operation of spinal instrumentation has been increased. And these surgeries are the most crucial part of neurological surgery wards. The everyday improvements in the quality of equipment used and advancements in surgical methods lead to best performance of these procedures and finally the higher quality of patients' lives. The procedures of Laminectomy and pedicular screw instrumentation lead to pain relief and better performance and developments in the quality of patients' lives. In addition to the above mentioned improvements, you must consider the fact that these activities are still accompanied by complications during and after surgical operation.
