Spine Surgery

At Vardhman Neurospine and Orthopedic Hospital, we understand that spinal issues can significantly impact your quality of life, causing pain, limiting mobility, and affecting daily activities. Our spine surgery services are designed to address a range of spinal conditions through advanced, effective, and minimally invasive procedures. Led by Dr. Vardan Kulshreshtha, a highly skilled neurosurgeon and spine specialist, our goal is to provide relief, restore function, and help our patients return to active, pain-free lives.

Why Consider Spine Surgery?

Spine surgery is often recommended when non-surgical treatments—like medication, physical therapy, and injections—fail to provide adequate relief. Common reasons for spine surgery include:

  • Herniated Discs: When spinal discs press on nerves, they can cause radiating pain, especially in the arms or legs.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease: Over time, discs may wear down, leading to pain, numbness, and mobility limitations.
  • Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal, which can compress nerves and cause severe pain.
  • Sciatica and Nerve Compression: Nerve pinching that leads to radiating pain in the lower back or legs.
  • Spine Trauma and Fractures: Injuries that require surgical intervention to stabilize the spine and prevent further damage.
  • Spondylolisthesis: When a vertebra slips out of place, causing instability and discomfort.

Types of Spine Surgery We Offer

At Vardhman Neurospine and Orthopedic Hospital, we use advanced and minimally invasive techniques tailored to each patient’s condition:

  • Spinal Fusion Surgery
    This surgery joins two or more vertebrae, creating stability by eliminating movement between them. It’s commonly used for treating conditions like spondylolisthesis and degenerative disc disease, reducing pain by stopping painful motion in affected vertebrae.

  • Discectomy
    A procedure to remove herniated disc material pressing on nerves, relieving pain that radiates down the arms or legs. It’s particularly beneficial for patients with sciatica or significant nerve compression.

  • Laminectomy
    A decompression procedure often used for spinal stenosis, where a part of the vertebra (the lamina) is removed to create more space, relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.

  • Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)
    Using small incisions, MISS offers faster recovery times and reduced tissue damage. It’s effective for various conditions, including herniated discs and spinal stenosis, while minimizing recovery time and hospital stays.

  • Artificial Disc Replacement
    Instead of fusion, an artificial disc can be implanted to replace a damaged disc, preserving more natural spine movement and potentially reducing future strain on surrounding vertebrae.

Our Approach to Spine Surgery

From the initial assessment to post-operative recovery, we focus on personalized, patient-centered care. Here’s how we support our patients:

  • Detailed Diagnosis
    Using advanced imaging, we thoroughly evaluate the spine to understand the exact cause of pain and dysfunction, ensuring each treatment is specific to the patient’s needs.

  • Individualized Treatment Plans
    Our approach begins with non-surgical options. If surgery is needed, we discuss the procedure, expected outcomes, and any potential risks so patients are fully informed and comfortable with their care plan.

  • Precision Surgery with Advanced Technology
    Dr. Kulshreshtha utilizes cutting-edge tools and techniques, including minimally invasive methods, to improve surgical outcomes and minimize recovery time.

  • Comprehensive Post-Operative Care
    Recovery is crucial in spine surgery, and our team offers extensive rehabilitation support through physical therapy and follow-up appointments, helping patients regain strength, flexibility, and function.
