An operation that joins two or more bones of the spine so they heal into one, to steady a painful or unstable part of the back or neck.
Pending doctor checkScrews and rods hold the bones still while bone graft helps them grow together. Where it suits the case, it is done by minimally invasive surgery through small cuts, with navigation to place the screws precisely, which usually means less pain and a quicker return home.
People with an unstable or slipped spine (spondylolisthesis), severe disc wear, fractures, deformity, or tumours of the spine, when other treatment has not helped.
Every patient gets their own estimate, in writing, from the hospital. These are the things that move it.
Room types, equipment and running costs differ from one hospital to the next.
A surgeon's fee follows their experience and how complex the operation is.
Keyhole or robotic surgery, and the make of any implant, can change the price.
Other conditions, earlier treatment and the tests you need before treatment all count.
Days in hospital, any time in intensive care and the weeks you spend recovering in India.
Physiotherapy, medicines to take home and follow-up visits are added only if your doctor asks for them.
The estimate is not final until the doctor has examined you in India. If anything changes, we explain it before you agree to it.
