Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the best doctor for One-Level Disc Replacement in India?

Choose a board-certified spine surgeon, either an orthopaedic or neurosurgeon, with expertise in artificial disc replacement (ADR) and minimally invasive spinal surgery. Look for doctors who are trained in the U.S., Europe, or Japan and work at internationally accredited hospitals. Ideal specialists have experience with both cervical and lumbar disc replacements and emphasise motion-preserving techniques.

How do I choose the best hospital for One-Level Disc Replacement in India?

Choose a hospital that offers robotic-assisted navigation systems, state-of-the-art operating rooms, and a specialised spine centre. Ensure the hospital provides advanced diagnostic imaging, such as 3T MRI or CT scans, a multidisciplinary spine team that includes neurology and rehabilitation, English-speaking staff, and JCI or ISO accreditation.

Can I consult with a spine surgeon online before I travel, and how can I access their patient reviews?

Yes, you can schedule a teleconsultation with an Indian spine surgeon via MediGence. This enables you to:

  • Talk about your symptoms, the imaging findings (MRI, X-ray), and the appropriateness of the treatment.
  • Recognise risks, recuperation, and type of disc implant (lumbar or cervical).
  • Get a customised plan that includes pricing estimates and travel tips.
  • MediGence clinician profiles and hospital websites provide access to patient reviews.
Can International Patients Access One-Level Disc Replacement in India?

Yes, India is a global hub for advanced spinal surgery, offering:

  • English-speaking doctors and coordinators
  • Comprehensive visa, travel, and lodging assistance
  • Streamlined care pathways for international patients with shorter waiting times
What qualifications, certifications, and experience does the doctor have for Disc Replacement Surgery?

Physicians with an MBBS, followed by an MS in Orthopaedics or an MCh/DNB in Neurosurgery, are typically orthopaedic spine surgeons or neurosurgeons who perform disc replacement surgery. They often complete additional fellowship training in spine surgery and are registered with the State Medical Council or the National Medical Commission. They have experience in high-volume centres treating complicated spinal conditions with motion-preserving techniques.

How can I verify the credibility of a disc replacement surgeon in India?

Verify hospital affiliations, international training or fellowships in spine surgery, and Indian Medical Council registration. Examine hospital results and patient reviews on MediGence or official websites, and look for membership in organisations like AO Spine or NASS.

What should I expect during a teleconsultation for One-Level Disc Replacement through MediGence?

During the consultation, your surgeon will assess your imaging results, symptoms, and history of neck or back pain. The appropriate disc implant type, the surgical procedure, the expected recovery time, and any necessary travel safety measures will be discussed. A customised treatment plan will be provided to you, along with information on the cost, recovery schedule, and aftercare.
