    Introduction

    Living with chronic back pain is debilitating. When therapy fails, surgeries like Laminectomy (Decompression) or Spinal Fusion are the gold standard. But in the US, these are among the most expensive procedures, easily exceeding $100,000.

    India offers high-tech spine solutions using O-Arm Navigation and Robotic Guidance (Mazor X) for extreme safety and precision.

    Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)

    Leading Indian neurosurgeons prefer MISS techniques.

    • Smaller Incisions: 2cm vs 10cm.
    • Less Muscle Damage: Faster recovery.
    • Shorter Stay: 2-3 days in hospital.

    Success Rates

    With JCI-accredited hospitals, infection rates for spine surgery in top Indian hospitals are below 1%, comparable to the best US centers.

    Conclusion

    Complex spine surgery requires expertise. India's surgeons perform thousands of these cases, offering skill, technology, and savings in one package.
