Spine Surgery FAQ
Honest answers about back surgery, slip disc treatment, and neurosurgery to help you decide.
Do I need surgery for slip disc?
Not always. Many slip disc cases can be managed with medication, physiotherapy, and nerve blocks. Dr. Kathuria, one of the best neurosurgeons in Delhi NCR, always explores non-surgical options first. Surgery is recommended only when conservative treatment fails or there is nerve damage.
Is minimally invasive spine surgery safe?
Yes. Modern minimally invasive spine surgery using microscopes and endoscopes is extremely safe with a success rate above 95%. The incisions are tiny (under 1cm), blood loss is minimal, and most patients walk within hours of surgery.
How long is recovery after spine surgery?
With endoscopic spine surgery, many patients go home the same day. For microdiscectomy, hospital stay is typically 1-2 days. Most patients return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks and full recovery takes 6-8 weeks.
