MEDICAL TOURISM IN INDIA

These are Spine surgeries done using cutting-edge technology and specialized instruments to accomplish the same clinical outcomes as traditional open surgery through a less traumatic approach. These are performed through one or more small incisions or punctures through which tubular retractors or an endoscope is inserted.

Using specialized instruments and microscopic visualization, surgery is performed through the tube. Endoscopes are thin tubes with a light source and camera. The endoscope is inserted through a small stab / incision and positioned. Small instruments are passed through the endoscope to the surgical site where the surgeon performs the procedure. The endoscopic set up enables the surgeon to view the surgery on a monitor.

Surgery should always be the last resort when it comes to treating spinal conditions in the neck and back. However, if various non-operative treatments have been attempted without improvement or worsening over a 6-12 month period, then surgical treatment seems reasonable for certain specific conditions such as spinal stenosis, sciatica, spondylolisthesis or degenerative scoliosis. The decision for surgery should be individualized to the patient and the patient's symptoms, along with their level of function.
