Minimal Access Spinal Surgery

The Minimal Access Spinal Surgery Unit at Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital uses minimally invasive surgical approach to treat patients suffering from a wide range of spine conditions such as spinal instability, congenital spinal disorders, spinal trauma, compression fractures, herniated discs, scoliosis or spinal tumours.

Minimal Access Spinal Surgery is the most advanced surgical technique that allows the spinal problem to be corrected using small surgical incision. It potentially allows surgeons to successfully treat back pain and deformity with the least amount of interruption while achieving the same surgical objectives as open surgeries, without disturbing the surrounding tissues.

Our team of Minimal Access Spinal Surgery specialists follows a multidisciplinary approach to evaluate each patient, dealing with spinal disorders and determine the most appropriate intervention for them.  The team consists of Neurosurgeons, Orthopaedic surgeons, Physical therapists, Pain management physicians and nurses who are experts in using precise diagnostic tools and specially designed instruments such as Video cameras, x-rays, detailed anatomy imaging, endoscopic, microscopic, computer-assisted navigation, to achieve the same repairs and reconstructions that once required long incisions and extended periods of recuperation.
