Spine
Procedures
What each procedure involves — before, during, and after.
If you've been told that surgery may be the right option for you, it's completely normal to want to understand exactly what that involves. The pages in this section walk you through what each procedure is, what to expect before and during surgery, and what recovery actually looks like.
Reading about a procedure here won't tell you whether it's right for your specific situation — that's what a consultation is for. But going into that conversation informed means you can ask better questions and make a more confident decision.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, faster recovery.
Microdiscectomy
Minimally invasive removal of herniated disc material pressing on a spinal nerve root. The most commonly performed spine procedure in Pune.
MIS Lumbar Fusion
Spinal fusion through small incisions to stabilise a painful or unstable segment with less tissue disruption than open surgery.
Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Camera-guided surgery through a very small incision — for selected disc and nerve compression cases requiring minimal disruption.
Percutaneous Pedicle Screw Fixation
Navigation-guided screw placement through the skin — avoiding large incisions while providing structural spinal stabilisation.
Decompression Procedures
Relieving pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots.
Laminectomy
Removal of the bony arch at the back of a vertebra to create more space in the spinal canal — the standard surgical treatment for spinal stenosis.
Foraminotomy
Enlargement of the opening through which nerve roots exit the spine, relieving compression without disturbing the disc itself.
Discectomy
Removal of a damaged disc — typically as part of a decompression or fusion procedure at the affected level.
Deformity, Fusion & Complex Procedures
Structural correction and stabilisation for complex spinal conditions.
Spinal Fusion
Fusion of two or more vertebrae to eliminate painful movement at an unstable segment — for spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, and instability.
Spinal Deformity Correction
Complex corrective surgery for scoliosis and other spinal deformities — performed with Medtronic navigation-assisted precision.
Posterior Spinal Fusion
Fusion from the back of the spine — used for instability, spondylolisthesis, and deformity correction requiring multi-level stabilisation.
Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty
Minimally invasive stabilisation of vertebral fractures using bone cement injected under imaging guidance — for osteoporotic and traumatic fractures.
Cervical Disc Replacement
Replacement of a damaged cervical disc with an artificial device — preserving motion at the treated level as an alternative to fusion.
Diagnostic Procedures
Precision interventions that identify the exact source of pain.
