Spine Surgery at IPSC Hospital: Minimally Invasive and Percutaneous Spine Fixation Surgery

At IPSC India, we believe in managing our chronic spinal pain patients with minimally invasive technique. But, there are conditions where we prefer to go for open spinal surgical procedures over less invasive techniques. At times, we do have patients who need urgent surgeries to prevent them from going into permanent damage. There are multiple myths about spine surgeries and decision to have spinal surgery can be difficult specially when we have multiple “free of cost advises” flouting around us. Spine fixation surgery is a type of spine surgery that uses screws, rods, and other implants to stabilize the spine. It is often used to treat conditions that cause instability of the spine, such as spondylolisthesis and fractures. Spine fixation surgery can also be used to treat conditions that cause pain and nerve compression, such as herniated discs and spinal stenosis.
