Our network hospitals have the most advanced spine surgery facilities. The spine surgeons here use minimally invasive and computer guided techniques in spine surgery. In a Minimally Invasive spine surgery the surgeon makes a few small incisions unlike the open surgery where a single large incision is made. Minimally Invasive spine surgery has several important benefits for the patients. If you have been advised spine surgery your first choice should be the latest minimally invasive technique developed by our world best hospitals in India. Most advanced Technology like Intra Operative MRI, Brain Suite and Computer Assisted Navigation System are deployed by highly trained surgeons for accurate and safe Spine Surgeries through a small incision.

Who can benefit from Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion
Surgery? - Most Advanced Spine Surgery in India
A person’s spine is subjected to a lot of forces throughout its lifetime. It may
be subjected to age related wear and tear or infections like tuberculosis. As
a result it undergoes degeneration which gives rise to a variety of problems
like spinal osteoarthritis, disc prolapse, spondylolisthesis, osteoporotic
fractures, vertebral collapse etc.
All these conditions manifest as severe pain in the back and radiating pain,
numbness, tingling in the upper or lower extremities (lower leg or arm) due
to compression of spinal nerves, spinal cord and spinal instability. When
these symptoms become debilitating enough to preclude the patient’s day to
day activity, a Spinal Fusion Surgery is advised.

2. Spinal Fusion Surgery in India
The objective of this surgery is to fuse
(join) to or more adjacent vertebral
segments that are diseased, so that
they grow as one unit and result in a
more stable painless spine. The involved
segment gives rise to pain due to
compression of surrounding soft tissue
structures and nerves. Spinal fusion also
known as spondylodesis or
spondylosyndesis aims at relieving this
compression and restoring the surrounding soft tissue elements and nerves
to their original shape and size, thereby eliminating the pain. It also provides
stability to the affected segments during movement at the spine. The
surgery is generally indicated for the lumbar spine as low back bears the
maximum brunt, but it may be advised for cervical (neck) or thoracic (mid
back) segments also.
Our spine consists of 33 small bones stacked one on top of the other. They
are separated by soft cushion like structures call intervertebral discs which
provide shock absorption and facilitate movements of the spine. The
Vertebral column encloses the delicate spinal cord within and the spinal
nerves leave the vertebral column through openings (foramen) present on
the sides. When these discs degenerate, herniated or when the
intervertebral distance reduces or when there are bony outgrowths
(osteophytes) on the undersurface of vertebral body, they encroach into the
passage for the spinal nerves or the spinal cord. This results in compression
of the spinal nerves or spinal cord manifesting as severe intractable pain in
the back and the lower leg or arm.

3. Who can benefit from Minimally Invasive Spinal
Fusion Surgery?
Patients who are suffering from persistent back pain that has not been
relieved by conventional mode of treatment like rest, physical therapy or
medication or those suffering from any of the following chronic conditions :-
•degenerative disc disease
•spinal disc herniation
•discogenic pain
•spinal tumor
•vertebral fracture
•scoliosis
•kyphosis (i.e, Scheuermann's disease)
•spondylolisthesis
•spondylosis
•Posterior Rami Syndrome
Types of Spinal Fusion Surgery
There are three types of spinal fusion
procedures which differ only in their access
towards the affected spinal segment. The
basic procedure remains the same in all the
three techniques. They are:
1) Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion
(ALIF):The affected segment is accessed
through an incision in the abdomen
2) Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion
(PLIF): The affected segment is accessed through an
incision in the midline of the back
3) Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF): The affected
segment is approached through a paraspinal ( at the side of the midline)
incision in the back.The Minimally Invasive TLIF approach is the preferred
method at our practice for interbody fusion as it is generally less traumatic
to the spine, is safer for the nerves, and allows for quicker recovery.

4. Minimally invasive type of spine surgery designed
to accomplish aspinal fusion
 · Minimal tissue damage
 · Minimal blood loss
 · Small incisions and scars
 · Minimal post-operative discomfort
 · Relatively quick recovery time and return to normal function.
Because of the above factors, it is one of a number of options for spinal
fusion that are relatively minimally invasive. The XLIF is a type of interbody
fusion, which is a category of fusion in which the disc in the front of the
spine is removed and replaced with an implant containing a bone graft to set
up the condition for the two vertebrae to fuse together through the disc
space.
