When conservative treatments fail for chronic back pain, sciatica, or spinal conditions, surgery becomes the answer. Health1 offers both traditional and minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS).
Conditions Treated
Lumbar disc herniation, cervical disc disease, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, spinal fractures, tumours, and scoliosis.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
MISS uses specialised instruments through 1 to 2 cm incisions. Benefits: less muscle damage, smaller scars, 1 to 3 day hospital stay (vs 5 to 7 for open), faster return to work, and reduced pain. Procedures include microdiscectomy, TLIF/PLIF fusion, percutaneous pedicle screws, and endoscopic spine surgery.
When Is Surgery Necessary?
After 6 to 12 weeks of failed conservative treatment, or immediately for progressive weakness, bowel/bladder dysfunction (cauda equina), or severe unrelenting pain.
Cost
Microdiscectomy: ₹1L to ₹2L. Complex fusion: ₹3L to ₹8L. Insurance cashless available.
