Cost of Keyhole Spine Surgery Worldwide

Initial Evaluation and Diagnosis

• The doctor reviews your symptoms and performs physical exams and spinal imaging.
• Imaging tests, such as MRI or CT scans, provide detailed views to identify the specific area and cause of the spinal problem.

Detailed Consultation and Counselling

• The surgical process, risks, expected benefits, and outcomes are clearly explained.
• Patients are encouraged to ask questions and provide consent only after they have a complete understanding.

Preoperative Guidelines

• You may be asked to fast for 6–8 hours before the surgery to prepare for anaesthesia.
• Certain medications may need to be adjusted, especially blood thinners or diabetes medications.

Hospital Admission and Preparation

• Depending on the patient's condition and hospital protocol, admission may occur either on the day of surgery or one day prior.
• Basic tests are performed, and the surgical area is prepared and marked.

Anaesthesia and Positioning

• General anaesthesia is administered so you are unconscious and pain-free.
• The body is gently positioned to allow safe and accurate surgical access.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Technique

• A small incision is made near the affected spine segment.
• Special instruments and a microscope or endoscope are used to navigate safely.

Targeted Treatment of the Problem Area

• The damaged disc, compressed nerve, or bone fragment is removed or repaired.
• In some cases, spinal fusion or support devices may be placed to stabilise the spine.

Closing the Incision and Recovery Room Transfer

• The incision is closed using sutures or skin glue for faster healing.
• You’re moved to a recovery area where vital signs are continuously monitored.

Post-Surgery Observation and Pain Control

• Pain relief is provided through oral or IV medication as needed.
• Early movement is encouraged, and most patients start walking the same day.

Safe Discharge and Home Recovery Plan

• Patients are usually discharged within 24 to 48 hours if stable.
• Detailed instructions on activity limits, medications, and wound care are given.

Follow-Up and Rehabilitation Support

• Scheduled follow-ups help track healing progress and prevent complications.
• Physiotherapy may be recommended to restore strength and spinal mobility.

• Bulging or Slipped Disc: When spinal discs push out of place and irritate nearby nerves.
• Narrow Spinal Canal (Spinal Stenosis): Causes nerve compression and pain due to reduced space in the spine.
• Nerve Root Compression (Sciatica): Causes sharp or burning pain that radiates down the leg, typically due to irritation or pressure on the sciatic nerve.
• Worn-Out Discs (Degenerative Disc Disease): Discs lose cushioning over time, leading to discomfort and reduced movement.
• Vertebral Slippage (Spondylolisthesis): Occurs when one vertebra shifts forward over another, affecting spinal stability.
• Minor Spinal Fractures: Fractures from injury or weak bones that can be stabilised through minimally invasive techniques.
• Unstable Spine Segments: Unnatural motion between vertebrae that leads to chronic back pain or nerve issues.
• Nerve Entrapment: When surrounding tissues or discs press on a spinal nerve, causing pain or numbness.
• Select Non-Cancerous Tumours: Small, non-aggressive spine tumours may be removed using a keyhole approach.

• Discectomy
• Laminectomy
• Foraminotomy
• Fusion
• Vertebroplasty
• Kyphoplasty
• Decompression
• Stabilisation
• Corpectomy (in select cases)
• Nucleoplasty

• Smaller Incision: Less cutting means reduced scarring and faster healing.
• Less Pain: Minimal tissue damage leads to lower pain levels after surgery.
• Faster Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities much sooner than with open surgery.
• Shorter Hospital Stay: Many can go home within 1–3 days.
• Lower Risk of Infection: Smaller wounds reduce the chance of postoperative infections.
• Preserves Muscle Strength: Muscles are gently moved aside, rather than cut, which helps maintain mobility.
• Less Blood Loss: The minimally invasive technique helps reduce bleeding during surgery.
• Better Precision: Surgeons use high-definition cameras or microscopes for improved accuracy.
