MISS in Vizag, Hyderabad & Vijayawada. Microdiscectomy, decompression, TLIF — keyhole surgery, less pain, faster recovery.
Spine surgery is performed to treat conditions of the vertebral column including herniated (slipped) discs, spinal stenosis (canal narrowing), spondylolisthesis (vertebral slippage), and degenerative disc disease. Modern Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) uses small incisions, specialised retractors, and intraoperative imaging — resulting in less muscle damage, less blood loss, and significantly faster recovery than open spine surgery.
SurgiKure's spine surgeons perform a full range of MISS procedures — from microdiscectomy for disc herniation causing sciatica, to TLIF and PLIF fusion for spinal instability. Most patients experience significant pain relief soon after surgery and are mobilised the following morning with guided physiotherapy.
A disc bulge or rupture presses on a nerve root causing sciatica or arm pain. Treated with MISS microdiscectomy when conservative care fails after 6-8 weeks.
Narrowing of the spinal canal compresses the spinal cord and nerves. Causes neurogenic claudication. Treated with MISS decompression (laminectomy/foraminotomy).
One vertebra slips forward over another, causing instability and nerve compression. Requires MISS spinal fusion (TLIF or PLIF) to stabilise the spine.
Severe disc degeneration causing chronic instability and pain unresponsive to all conservative treatment. MISS discectomy and fusion provide long-term relief.
Gold standard for lumbar disc herniation with sciatica. A tiny incision and a tubular retractor allow the surgeon to remove the herniated disc fragment under a microscope. Immediate relief of leg pain. Home the next day.
A portion of the vertebral arch is removed to create space for compressed nerves in spinal stenosis. Keyhole approach, less muscle disruption, faster recovery than open laminectomy.
Transforaminal or Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion — a cage and bone graft are placed between vertebrae and stabilised with percutaneous screws and rods. Used for spondylolisthesis and severe disc disease.
For vertebral compression fractures due to osteoporosis. Medical-grade bone cement is injected under imaging guidance to stabilise the fracture and relieve pain. Performed under local anaesthesia, same-day discharge.
