Cervical Discectomy Cervical Discectomy Cervical discectomy is surgery to remove one or more discs from the neck. The disc is the pad that separates the neck vertebrae; ectomy means to take out. Usually a discectomy is combined with a fusion of the two vertebrae that are separated by the disc. In some cases, this procedure is done without a fusion. A cervical discectomy without a fusion may be suggested for younger patients between 20 and 45 years old who have symptoms due to a herniated disc. Different Approaches to treat Cervical Discectomy Spine Problem Anterior Approach The anterior approach allows the surgeon to have direct access to the degenerated disc without having to manipulate any nerve roots. Better correction of the collapsed disc to its native height can also be achieved by having a better leverage point to open the disc space. This can also help in restoring lordosis to the lumbar spine and to decrease fatigue of the surrounding posterior spinal muscles. No anterior or posterior muscle dissection is required to gain access to the front of the spine (unless the anterior approach is done in combination with a posterior approach for instrumentation). Avoiding injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (especially on the right side) and superior laryngeal nerve is a major consideration in the anterior approach to the lower cervical spine. The sympathetic trunk is situated in close proximity to the medial border of the longus colli at the C6 level (the longus colli diverge laterally, whereas the sympathetic trunk converges medially). The damage leads to the development of Horner's syndrome with its associated ptosis, meiosis, and anhydrosis. Awareness of the regional anatomy of the sympathetic trunk may help in identifying and preserving this important structure while performing anterior cervical surgery or during exposure of the transverse foramen or uncovertebral joint at the lower cervical levels. Posterior Approach While anterior cervical discectomy or anterior corpectomy are excellent options for younger patients and those with inadequate cervical lordotic curve, dorsal procedures can often be used in patients with a well-maintained cervical lordotic curve. This can include patients with multilevel cervical spondylosis as well as those with OPLL. Cervical laminectomy and decompression can often be augmented by lateral mass fusion to correct instability or to prevent loss of future sagittal alignment. Laminoplasty is also offered as an alternative to lateral mass fusion. In patients undergoing posterior decompression surgery, there should be evidence of preoperative cervical lordosis of at least 10° and less than 7 mm of anterior-posterior OPLL for indirect decompression to be successful. The most significant advantage of a posterior approach is that it avoids the potential soft-tissue complications of the anterior approach. Furthermore, there is no risk of graft extrusion, but there is a decreased incidence of postoperative pseudarthrosis. It has additionally been proposed that OPLL is associated with a "dynamic myelopathy" in which the cervical spinal cord is progressively injured by repeated movement of the cord parenchyma over the ossified ventral mass. Arthrodesis and simple collar immobilization in these patients may serve to "stiffen" the cervical spine and decrease deleterious motion. Minimally invasive cervical disc replacement surgery Minimally invasive cervical disc replacement surgery entails inserting an artificial cervical disc between two cervical vertebrae after the inter- vertebral disc has been surgically removed in the process of decompressing the spinal cord or a nerve root. The intent of the device is to preserve motion at the disc space. It is an alternative to the use of bone grafts, plates and screws in pursuit of a fusion following procedures such a disc removal, which necessarily eliminates motion at the operated disc space in the neck. Cervical disc replacement surgery is most typically done for patients with cervical disc herniations that have not responded to non-surgical treatment options and are significantly affecting the individuals' quality of life and ability to function. The advantages of Minimally invasive cervical disc replacement surgery Maintaining normal neck motion Reducing degeneration of adjacent segments of the cervical spine Eliminating the need for a bone graft Early postoperative neck motion Faster return to normal activity Postoperative neck braces are not required for disc replacement operations.

Cervical Spine Surgery in India
Cervical Spine Surgery: Advanced Treatment for Neck and Spine Disorders Cervical spine surgery is performed to treat conditions affecting the neck (cervical spine) that cause chronic pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty in movement. When non-surgical treatments such as medications, physiotherapy, and injections fail to provide relief, surgery may be recommended to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves and restore spinal stability. India is one of the leading destinations for cervical spine surgery, offering internationally trained spine surgeons, advanced surgical technologies, robotic-assisted procedures, and affordable treatment costs. What is Cervical Spine Surgery? The cervical spine consists of the first seven vertebrae (C1–C7) that support the head and protect the spinal cord. Damage, degeneration, injury, or spinal disorders can compress nerves or the spinal cord, resulting in severe neck pain and neurological symptoms. Cervical spine surgery aims to: Relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves Reduce neck and arm pain Restore movement and function Stabilize the spine Improve quality of life Conditions Treated with Cervical Spine Surgery Cervical spine surgery is commonly recommended for patients with: Cervical Disc Herniation Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease Cervical Spinal Stenosis Cervical Spondylosis Cervical Myelopathy Cervical Radiculopathy Pinched Nerves Cervical Spine Fractures Neck Injuries Spinal Instability Cervical Deformities Cervical Spine Tumors Infections of the Cervical Spine Symptoms That May Require Cervical Spine Surgery You may need cervical spine surgery if you experience: Persistent neck pain Pain radiating to the shoulders or arms Numbness or tingling in the hands or fingers Weakness in the arms or hands Difficulty walking or maintaining balance Loss of coordination Difficulty holding objects Reduced neck mobility Severe headaches related to cervical spine disorders Loss of bladder or bowel control (in severe spinal cord compression) Types of Cervical Spine Surgery Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) The damaged cervical disc is removed through the front of the neck, relieving nerve compression. A bone graft or implant is inserted, and the vertebrae are fused together for stability. Best for: Herniated discs Cervical radiculopathy Degenerative disc disease Cervical Disc Replacement Instead of spinal fusion, the damaged disc is replaced with an artificial disc that preserves neck movement. Benefits: Maintains natural motion Faster recovery Reduced stress on adjacent spinal segments Posterior Cervical Laminectomy The surgeon removes part of the vertebral bone (lamina) to create more space for the spinal cord and nerves. Recommended for: Cervical spinal stenosis Myelopathy Multi-level compression Cervical Laminoplasty The spinal canal is enlarged without removing the entire lamina, preserving spinal stability while relieving nerve compression. Cervical Corpectomy One or more vertebral bodies are removed to relieve severe spinal cord compression, followed by reconstruction and stabilization. Cervical Fusion Surgery Two or more vertebrae are permanently joined together using bone grafts, plates, and screws to stabilize the spine. Minimally Invasive Cervical Spine Surgery Advanced techniques use small incisions, specialized instruments, and high-definition imaging for precise treatment. Advantages include: Smaller incisions Less blood loss Reduced pain Shorter hospital stay Faster recovery Lower infection risk Robotic-Assisted Cervical Spine Surgery Many leading hospitals in India now offer robotic-assisted spine surgery, providing exceptional precision and accuracy.

Latest Generation Diagnostic and Imaging facilities including dynamic digital X rays, Spiral CT scanning , MRI and Electrophysiology unit all under one roof. Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation by experts after the surgery help you regain functional abilities quickly helping in vastly improved overall results. Disc NucleoplastySurgery Nucleoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat back pain or leg pain caused by contained disc herniations. It works by decompressing the nucleus of the disc. Similar to letting air out of a tire, removing tissue from the center of a disc causes a reduction of pressure within the disc. This in turn leads to a reduction in the pressure that the disc applies to other parts of the body, such as nerve roots or the spinal cord. During the procedure, an instrument is introduced through a needle and placed into the center of the disc where a series of channels are created to remove tissue from the nucleus. As pressure is relieved, pain is reduced, consistent with the clinical results of earlier percutaneous discectomy procedures. There is little tissue trauma and recovery times may be improved in many patients. A herniated disc may occur suddenly in an event such as a fall or an accident, or may occur gradually with repetitive straining of the spine. Candidates for Disc Nucleoplasty You are a candidate for disc nucleoplasty if If you are suffering from chronic back pain, back fatigue and rest, medications, medical interventions like steroid injections and physical therapy has not been of help. If you suffer from disc herniation If you suffer from contained spinal disc herniation, i.e, pain radiating down the leg or arm accompanied by back pain not improving with medication and physical therapy. Inflammation and chronic pain, particularly in cases where the nerve roots are pinched or irritated. How does the Disc Nucleoplasty procedure work? Nucleoplasty requires the patient to lie on his/her stomach for the lumbar procedure or back for the cervical procedure. The procedure is performed under X-ray guidance to accurately place a needle into the disc. Sedation may be administered by your doctor. A small nick is made in the skin near the spine, and a needle is inserted. The decompression device, called a SpineWand, is then inserted through the needle into the disc and activated to remove tissue. The device and the needle are removed and the small nick is covered with a bandage. Benefits of Disc Nucleoplasty for herniated or slipped disc, chronic lower back pain, Sciatica Minimally Invasive, Scarless , Minimal Pain & discomfort to the patient Procedure time is less than an hour Minimal Tissue trauma and no risk of complications that may result from open surgery Minimal pain and discomfort to the patient.

Disc Kyphoplasty If you have been diagnosed with a spinal fracture caused by osteoporosis, cancer or benign tumors, balloon kyphoplasty is a treatment option you may want to consider. Balloon kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that can significantly reduce back pain and repair the broken bone of a spinal fracture. The procedure is called balloon kyphoplasty because orthopaedic balloons are used to lift the fractured bone and return it to the correct position. Before the procedure, you will have a medical exam and undergo diagnostic studies such as X-rays, to determine the precise location of the fracture. Balloon kyphoplasty can be done under local or general anesthesia—your physician will decide which option is appropriate for you. Balloon kyphoplasty takes about one hour per fracture treated. It can be done on an inpatient or outpatient basis, depending on medical necessity. After the procedure, you will likely be transferred to the Recovery Room for about an hour for observation. The aim of Kyphoplasty is to reduce the pain of fractured vertebra, to reinforce the weakened bone and to restore normal vertebral height. When is Kyphoplasty recommended ? Kyphoplasty is done on patients who experience painful symptoms or spinal deformities due to vertebral compression fractures resulting from osteoporosis. Kyphoplasty is also performed on patients who Are aged or are in poor health to tolerate open spinal surgery. Have too frail bones for surgical spinal repair Have a vertebral damage due to a cancerous tumor Are younger and have osteoporosis caused by a long-term steroid management or a metabolic disorder Benefits of Kyphoplasty Limitations in the traditional treatments of vertebral compression fractures have led to the refinement of such procedures as kyphoplasty. This procedure provide new options for compression fractures and are designed to relieve pain, reduce and stabilize fractures, reduce spinal deformity, and stop the "downward spiral" of untreated osteoporosis. Additional benefits of kyphoplasty include Short surgical time Only general or local anesthesia required Average hospital stay is one day (or less) Patients can quickly return to the normal activities of daily living No bracing required

Scoliosis Surgery in India
Advanced Surgical Treatment for Spinal Curvature Scoliosis surgery is performed to treat certain cases of abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. While many people with scoliosis may be managed with observation, exercise, bracing, or other non-surgical approaches, surgery may be considered when the spinal curvature is severe, progressive, or significantly affecting the patient's health and quality of life. The goal of scoliosis surgery is generally to correct or reduce the spinal curvature where appropriate, improve spinal alignment, and stabilize the affected section of the spine. What Is Scoliosis? Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine develops an abnormal sideways curve. The curve may occur in different areas of the spine and can vary in severity. Some cases develop during childhood or adolescence, while others may occur or progress during adulthood due to degenerative changes or other spinal conditions. The severity and progression of scoliosis are evaluated through physical examination and imaging studies. When Is Scoliosis Surgery Recommended? Scoliosis surgery may be considered based on several factors, including the severity and progression of the spinal curve, symptoms, age, overall health, and the underlying cause. Surgery may be considered in selected patients when: The spinal curve is severe or continues to progress The condition significantly affects posture or balance Persistent pain affects daily activities Non-surgical treatment has not provided sufficient benefit The spinal deformity causes significant functional problems Nerve compression is associated with the spinal deformity A qualified spine specialist will determine whether surgery is appropriate for each individual patient. Types of Scoliosis Surgery Spinal Fusion Surgery Spinal fusion is one of the most commonly used surgical approaches for scoliosis. During the procedure, selected vertebrae are joined together to stabilize and support the corrected spinal alignment. Specialized implants, such as rods and screws, may be used to help maintain the position of the spine while fusion occurs. Posterior Spinal Fusion Posterior spinal fusion is performed through the back of the body. It is commonly used to treat different types of scoliosis and may involve spinal instrumentation to support alignment and stability. Anterior Spinal Fusion Anterior spinal fusion involves accessing the spine through the front or side of the body in selected cases. The most appropriate approach depends on the location and nature of the spinal curvature. Growing Rod Surgery Growing rod techniques may be considered for selected children with early-onset scoliosis. These techniques are designed to help manage spinal curvature while allowing continued growth. The suitability of this treatment depends on the child's age, spinal development, and medical condition. Conditions and Types of Scoliosis Scoliosis can occur for different reasons. Common categories include: Idiopathic Scoliosis This is a common form of scoliosis in which the exact cause may not be clearly identified. Congenital Scoliosis Congenital scoliosis is associated with abnormalities in spinal development that are present from birth. Neuromuscular Scoliosis This type of scoliosis may develop in association with certain neurological or muscular conditions. Degenerative Scoliosis Degenerative scoliosis may develop in adults due to age-related changes affecting the spine. Benefits of Scoliosis Surgery Depending on the patient's condition and surgical approach, scoliosis surgery may help: Improve spinal alignment Reduce or prevent progression of the spinal curve Improve spinal balance Stabilize the affected area of the spine Reduce symptoms associated with spinal deformity Improve posture and overall function Treatment outcomes vary depending on the severity of scoliosis, the patient's age, overall health, and other individual factors. How Is Scoliosis Surgery Performed? The exact procedure depends on the type and severity of scoliosis. However, the treatment process generally includes: 1. Comprehensive Evaluation The specialist reviews the patient's medical history, symptoms, physical condition, and imaging studies such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans. 2. Surgical Planning The surgeon develops a personalized treatment plan based on the location and severity of the spinal curvature. 3. Spinal Correction and Stabilization During surgery, specialized techniques and instrumentation may be used to improve spinal alignment and stabilize the affected vertebrae. 4. Spinal Fusion In many scoliosis procedures, selected vertebrae are fused together to support long-term stability. 5. Recovery and Rehabilitation Following surgery, the patient receives monitoring, pain management, mobility guidance, and rehabilitation support as needed. Recovery After Scoliosis Surgery Recovery after scoliosis surgery varies depending on the type and complexity of the procedure, the patient's age, and overall health. The recovery process may include: Hospital monitoring after surgery Pain management Gradual mobility and walking Physiotherapy and rehabilitation when recommended Follow-up appointments and imaging Guidance for returning to school, work, and daily activities Patients should follow the specific recovery instructions provided by their surgical team. Risks and Important Considerations Like all major spinal procedures, scoliosis surgery involves potential risks and requires careful evaluation. The surgeon will discuss: Expected benefits Potential surgical risks Alternative treatment options Recovery expectations Long-term follow-up requirements A personalized consultation is essential before making a treatment decision.

Spinal Fusion Surgery
Advanced Treatment for Spinal Instability and Chronic Back Conditions Spinal fusion surgery in India is an advanced treatment option for patients with certain spinal conditions that cause instability, pain, deformity, or nerve compression. India offers access to experienced spine surgeons, modern hospitals, advanced surgical technology, and comprehensive care for international patients. Spinal fusion is performed to join two or more vertebrae together, helping stabilize a section of the spine. The procedure may be recommended when appropriate non-surgical treatments have not provided sufficient relief or when spinal instability requires surgical treatment. What Is Spinal Fusion Surgery? Spinal fusion surgery is a procedure designed to permanently connect two or more bones of the spine, known as vertebrae. Bone graft material and, in some cases, implants such as screws and rods may be used to support stability while the bones heal and fuse together. The procedure can be performed in different areas of the spine, including the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, depending on the patient's medical condition. Conditions That May Require Spinal Fusion Surgery Spinal fusion may be recommended for certain patients with conditions such as: Degenerative disc disease Spondylolisthesis Spinal instability Recurrent disc problems Spinal deformities Certain cases of scoliosis Spinal fractures Severe degenerative spinal conditions Persistent symptoms associated with structural spinal problems A spine specialist will evaluate the patient's symptoms, imaging results, and overall health before recommending surgery. Types of Spinal Fusion Surgery Lumbar Spinal Fusion Lumbar spinal fusion is performed to stabilize the lower back. It may be considered for conditions affecting the lumbar vertebrae, including instability and certain degenerative conditions. Cervical Spinal Fusion Cervical spinal fusion is performed in the neck region to stabilize affected vertebrae and may be recommended for specific cervical spine conditions. Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) ALIF involves accessing the spine through the front of the body to remove damaged disc material and place a supportive implant between the vertebrae when clinically appropriate. Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) PLIF is performed through the back of the body and may involve removing damaged disc material and stabilizing the spine using bone grafts and specialized implants. Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) TLIF is a spinal fusion technique that accesses the spine from one side of the back. It may be used to stabilize the spine and address certain lumbar spine conditions. Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion In selected patients, minimally invasive techniques may be used to perform spinal fusion through smaller incisions with specialized surgical instruments and technology. Who May Be a Candidate for Spinal Fusion Surgery? Spinal fusion surgery may be considered for patients who have persistent symptoms and a diagnosed spinal condition requiring stabilization. Patients may experience: Persistent back or neck pain Pain radiating to the arms or legs Numbness or tingling Muscle weakness Difficulty with movement Spinal instability Not every patient with back pain requires spinal fusion. A detailed evaluation by an experienced spine specialist is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment. Benefits of Spinal Fusion Surgery Depending on the patient's condition and the procedure performed, spinal fusion may help: Improve spinal stability Reduce movement at a painful spinal segment Address certain spinal deformities Relieve pressure associated with specific spinal conditions Improve mobility and daily functioning Treatment outcomes vary depending on the patient's diagnosis, overall health, and the complexity of the spinal condition. Advanced Technology for Spinal Fusion Surgery Leading hospitals in India use modern technologies to support accurate diagnosis and surgical planning. Depending on the hospital and procedure, treatment may involve advanced imaging, navigation systems, minimally invasive techniques, and specialized spinal implants. The surgical approach is selected based on the patient's individual medical condition and clinical requirements. Recovery After Spinal Fusion Surgery Recovery following spinal fusion surgery varies depending on the location and extent of the fusion, the surgical technique used, and the patient's overall health. The recovery plan may include: Post-operative monitoring Pain management Physiotherapy and rehabilitation Guided mobility and activity recommendations Follow-up consultations Patients should carefully follow their surgeon's instructions regarding physical activity, rehabilitation, and recovery. Cost of Spinal Fusion Surgery in India The cost of spinal fusion surgery in India varies based on several factors, including: Type and complexity of the procedure Number of spinal levels requiring treatment Type of implants used Hospital and location Surgeon's experience Length of hospital stay Patient's overall medical condition For an accurate treatment estimate, patients should share their medical reports, MRI or CT scans, and previous treatment details for evaluation.

Spinal Tumor Tumor is abnormal mass of rapidly growing cells without any physiological function. That means it does not perform any function for the body but derives its nutrition from the body. It can occur anywhere in the body. The cause is unknown. Those tumors that are found in and around the spinal cord are known as spinal tumors. They may be primary tumors whose cells of origin is the spinal tissue, or they may be secondary tumors which have spread (metastasize) via blood stream from some other focus in the body. The spinal cord is covered by a layer of protective tissue called as meninges. The entire spinal cord is encased within the vertebral column. Following are different types of Spinal tumours based on there cancerous or non-cancerous behavior. Benign bone tumors are of following types: Giant Cell Tumor: Usually found in the sacrum Hemangioma: Usually found in the thoracic spine Osteoid Osteoma: Usually found to affect the lumbar spine's posterior spinal column Osteoblastoma: Usually found to affect the spine's posterior spinal column Malignant bone tumors are classified as follows: Chordoma: Affects the sacrum and coccyx in the midline Osteosarcoma: affect the anterior vertebral body and it may also invade the Posterior spinal elements. Malignant cartilage tumor: Chondrosarcoma: Found primarily in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine Malignant plasma cell tumors: Plasmacytoma is cancer of the white blood cells (plasma cells) which effects the thoracic spine and may also involve the spinal cord ot the nerve roots. Lymphomas are cancer of the body's lymphatic system that may spread to the spine .Usually the anterior part (front) of the spinal column is affected Ewing's Sarcoma: It affects the Sacrum or the nerves. Symptoms of Spinal Tumour Tumor may cause generalized symptoms in the body (like persistent low energy levels, unexplainable weight loss, lump formation, enlargement of lymph nodes, malaise, irregularities of menstruation in females etc as well as symptoms pertaining to the affected organ in the body. There are various ways in which spine tumour may exhibit, but the most common symptoms of spinal tumour are as follows: Back pain radiating to the other parts of the body. Loss of sensation and muscle weakness especially in the legs. Difficulty in walking, sometimes leading to falling Loss of bowel or bladder function Minimally Invasive Spinal Tumor Removal Surgery in India Some Spinal Tumors, benign or malignant, require surgical intervention before or after non-operative treatments. When pain is unresponsive to non-operative treatment, neurologic deficit progresses, a specimen is needed, neural elements (e.g. nerves) are compressed, vertebral destruction exists, or when spinal stabilization is necessary - surgery is considered. The primary goals in surgery are to reduce pain caused by the spinal tumor, restore or preserve neurologic function, and provide spinal stability. The spinal tumor may be approached surgically from the front (anterior) or back (posterior) of the body. Surgery may include tumor resection (partial removal) or excision (complete removal). When the tumor is removed (partially or completed) pain and neurologic problems may clear up. Spinal instrumentation and Fusion are procedures used to reconstruct and stabilize the spine. These procedures join and solidify the level (or levels) where a spinal element (e.g. vertebral body) has been damaged or removed. Why surgery for Spine Tumor Removal? When the tumor is removed (partially or completely) pain and neurologic problems may clear up. To restore and preserve neurological function and provide spinal stability. Spinal Tumor surgery is generally indicated in case there is a localized tumor which can be removed with minimum damage to nerve and spinal cord, There is persistent neurological deficit and pain which is unresponsive to non operative treatment Surgery may include resection (partial removal) or excision (complete removal) of tumor.

Spine Surgery in India
Spine Surgery in India Spine surgery is done in hospitals in India. This is a delicate procedure. A spinal surgeon with a lot of experience must do this surgery. The kind of surgery done in India depends on what is wrong with the patient. It also depends on how bad the symptomsre To figure out what the exact spine problem is doctors use some tests. These tests include a discography, a CT scan of the spine an MRI of the spine and electromyography. If the spine gets hurt it can be very painful. In a situation the patient may not be able to get out of bed. The spine is very important because it protects the cord and helps the body stand up straight or bend down. The spine is made up of twenty six bones called vertebrae. These vertebrae protect the cord. Over time the shape, size and location of these vertebrae can change. This can happen because of an injury a tumor, an infection or conditions like scoliosis, spondylitis, spinal stenosis and herniated discs. When the vertebrae change it can cause a lot of pain. It can also make it hard for the patient to move because it puts a lot of pressure on the nerve or spinal cord. In cases the patient may not be able to use their legs, arms or both. Spinal surgery, in India is done to fix these kinds of problems. Spine surgery can help patients who are suffering from problems. Spine Surgery Cost In India The cost of surgery is different in each country. However the spinal surgery cost in India is really low compared to other countries. The spinal surgery cost in India and the spinal surgery cost, in countries are shown in the table below: Type of Spine Surgery Starting Price in (₹) Starting Price in ($) 1 Endoscopic Discectomy INR 461,000 USD 5,500 2 Lumbar Fusion INR 712,000 USD 8,500 3 Nucleoplasty INR 587,000 USD 7,000 4 Laminectomy INR 420,000 USD 5,000 5 Balloon Kyphoplasty INR 630,000 USD 7,500 6 TLIF One Level INR 653,500 – 997,000 USD 7,800 – 11,900 7 TLIF Two Level INR 938,500 – 1,156,000 USD 11,200 – 13,800 8 ACDF One Level INR 771,000 – 947,000 USD 9,200-11,300 9 ACDF Two Level INR 897,000 – 1,106,000 USD 10,700- 13,200 10 Endoscopic Decompression INR 377,000 – 486,000 USD 4,500 – 5,800 11 Lumbar Microdisectomy INR 470,000 – 587,000 USD 5,600 – 7,000 12 OLIF One Level INR 922,000 – 1,156,000 USD 11,000 – 13,800 13 OLIF Two Level INR 1,090,000 – 1,366,000 USD 13,000 – 16,300 14 Cervical Discectomy INR 335,000 USD 4,000 15 Artificial Disc repair INR 587,000 USD 7,000 16 Herniated Disc repair INR 503,000 USD 6,000 17 Lumber Corpectomy/ Cervical INR 377,000 USD 4,500 18 Total disc replacemen INR 1,005,500 USD 12,000 19 Spinal tumor removal INR 461,000 USD 5,500 Types of Spine Surgery You may have to go for surgery if things like medicine, physical therapy or injections do not help to make your back pain better. The kind of surgery you will need depends on what's wrong, with your spine and how bad the problem is and where the problem is located in your spine. Discectomy / Microdiscectomy The doctor is going to remove the part of the spinal disc that is hurting a nerve. This surgery is called Microdiscectomy. It is a way to do the surgery because it does not cut much of the skin and the Microdiscectomy will help you feel better faster. The Microdiscectomy surgery is usually done for people who have a slipped disc, sciatica and nerve compression so the Microdiscectomy can really help these people. Spinal Fusion Surgery The spinal fusion process is when two or more vertebrae in the spine are connected together for good. This is usually what doctors tell people to do when they have problems, like Degenerative disc disease Spine instability Scoliosis Spine fractures The spinal fusion helps get rid of pain because it stops the bones that are hurt from moving against each other. Laminectomy (Spinal Decompression Surgery) In this kind of surgery they take out a part of the bone called the lamina. This is done to make room for the spinal cord and the nerves. They usually do this surgery for a reasons, including: Spinal stenosis Nerve compression Chronic lower back pain The surgery on the lamina is very helpful because it reduces the pressure. This is a deal for the spinal cord and the nerves. The surgery on the lamina also improves the mobility of the cord and the nerves. The main goal of the surgery on the lamina is to relieve the pressure on the cord and the nerves. The surgery on the lamina makes it easier to move. This is really important for people who have chronic lower back pain and spinal stenosis and nerve compression. The surgery on the lamina is an option, for these people because it helps with the pressure and the pain. Artificial Disc Replacement Of joining vertebrae together the damaged disc is swapped with a man-made implant. This helps keep the spine moving naturally and stays flexible. It is mainly used to fix neck and lower back disc issues, in people who're young or active. Foraminotomy This surgery makes the opening bigger where the nerve roots come out of the spine. The doctors do this surgery when there are bone spurs or disc material pushing on the nerves, which causes pain or makes your arms or legs feel numb or makes them weak. Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty These medical procedures are used to treat spinal compression fractures that are often caused by osteoporosis. A special kind of bone cement is put into the vertebra to make it stable and reduce the pain. In Kyphoplasty a balloon is used to help restore the height of the vertebra before the cement is injected. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) A lot of operations these days can be done with tiny cuts really good pictures of the inside of your body and special equipment. The good things about these operations are: They hurt You get faster You will not have big scars You do not have to stay in the hospital for a long time MISS is used for things, like taking out a bad disk joining bones together making space inside your spine and other spine problems.
