Surgery Details

Spine surgery in Bangalore is generally recommended for patients experiencing persistent back or neck pain, nerve compression, or spinal instability due to conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or spondylolisthesis, where conservative treatment has not provided lasting relief. Depending on the diagnosis and severity, your surgeon may recommend one of the following approaches.

Microdiscectomy

A minimally invasive procedure in which the surgeon removes the portion of a herniated disc that is pressing on a spinal nerve, relieving pain and restoring normal nerve function, typically through a very small incision.

Spinal Fusion

Two or more vertebrae are permanently joined together using bone grafts or metal implants to eliminate painful motion between them. This is commonly performed for spinal instability, spondylolisthesis, or advanced degenerative disc disease.

Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Using a small camera-equipped endoscope and specialised instruments, the surgeon accesses and treats the affected disc or nerve through a very small incision, generally resulting in less tissue disruption and a faster return to daily activities.

Surgery is performed under general or regional anaesthesia and typically takes between one and three hours, depending on the complexity and number of spinal levels involved. Most patients are supported to begin gentle mobilisation with physiotherapy guidance within a day or two of surgery.
