Complex spinal stabilization procedures are performed at the Apollo Institute of Neurosciences and Spinal Treatments to achieve a high level of spinal stability. Spondylosis, a condition in which the spine degenerates and puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, is treated at Apollo using microsurgery and robotic spinal treatments. Apollo surgeons use cutting-edge technology to ensure a high success rate. Diagnostic techniques include X-rays, MRI scans, CT/CAT scans, myelograms, bone scans, EMG/SSP (Electro-diagnostic Study), facet joint block, and discograms.

MISS (Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery) employs specialized tubular retractors used by surgeons. Compared to traditional spinal surgery, this method has several advantages. It is painless, gentle on the patient, bloodless, and scarless. When a prolapsed disc in the lumbar (lower back) region presses against a nerve, keyhole surgery, also known as microdiscectomy spine surgery, is performed. Apollo Hospitals in Chennai introduced the first ExcelsiusGP? Spine Robot in South India. Excelsius GP? Spine Robot improves patient safety and treatment accuracy. The surgeons at Apollo Hospitals have already performed numerous successful robotic surgeries. Dr. Imtiaz Ghani, Dr. Madhu Kiran Yarlagadda, and Dr. Muralidharan V are some of the spine experts at Apollo Hospital Chennai.
