Conditions We Treat
Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Endoscopic Spine Surgery uses a tiny camera (endoscope) inserted through a small incision to accurately treat spinal conditions like herniated discs or nerve compression. This minimally invasive method causes less pain, promotes quicker recovery, and leaves minimal scarring, helping patients return to daily activities faster.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) uses small incisions and specialized tools to treat various spinal problems with less muscle damage than traditional surgery. This approach reduces pain, speeds up recovery, lowers infection risks, and leaves minimal scarring. MISS may not suit every condition, so consultation with a spine specialist is important.
Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty
Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are minimally invasive surgeries that use bone cement to treat painful spinal fractures, with kyphoplasty also restoring vertebra height. Both help relieve pain quickly.
Motion Preservation Surgeries
Motion preservation surgeries treat spinal problems while keeping the spine flexible. Instead of fusing vertebrae, they use artificial discs or flexible devices, allowing natural movement and often a quicker recovery.
Spine Fracture Fixation
Surgical stabilization of spinal fractures. Spine fracture fixation uses screws, rods, or plates to stabilize broken vertebrae, relieve pain, and support healing so patients can move safely again.
Inherited Metabolic Disorder
Spinal tumor surgery is performed to safely remove or manage abnormal growths affecting the spine. Using advanced techniques, surgeons aim to relieve pain and protect critical nerves and spinal structures. This procedure helps restore stability and function to the spine, improving patients’ quality of life.The specific surgical approach is tailored to the tumor’s type, size, and location, as well as the patient’s overall health.
Disc Replacement & Cervical Spine Surgery
Disc replacement and cervical spine surgery relieve neck pain by removing a damaged disc and replacing it with an artificial one, preserving natural motion. This approach offers faster recovery and less risk than fusion, helping patients regain mobility and return to daily activities sooner. It’s ideal for chronic neck pain or nerve compression.
Spinal Deformity Correction
Spinal deformity correction surgery realigns and stabilizes abnormal spinal curves using rods, screws, or bone grafts. It improves posture, relieves pain, and restores mobility, tailored to each patient’s needs.
Spinal Fusion
Spinal fusion is a surgery that joins two or more vertebrae together using a bone graft and sometimes metal supports. This procedure stabilizes the spine, relieves pain, and is often used for conditions like degenerative disc disease, fractures, or scoliosis.
