At Fortis Malar Hospital, Keyhole Spine Surgery is performed using advanced minimally invasive spine techniques and individualized surgical planning. Established in 1989, the NABH accredited hospital in Chennai, India has 180 beds and provides comprehensive spinal surgery and rehabilitation services.

Keyhole Spine Surgery may be considered for patients with specific spinal disorders that cause persistent pain, numbness, or nerve-related symptoms despite appropriate non-surgical treatment. Through a small incision, the surgeon creates a limited pathway to the affected spinal structures and removes disc fragments, bone, or other tissue responsible for nerve compression when appropriate. Preoperative MRI or CT imaging helps identify the affected level and determine whether a minimally invasive approach is suitable.
