Neuro Spine Surgery

Overview

The Department of Neuro Spine Surgery at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital aims at offering specialised care for a full spectrum of spinal disorders and conditions—from diagnosis and surgery to recovery and rehabilitation.

Our team includes experienced neurosurgeons, neurologists, and rehabilitation specialists who work together to provide personalised, comprehensive treatment. By using a collaborative approach and the latest medical technology, we ensure each patient receives safe and effective care that meets international standards.

Conditions We Treat

We provide advanced surgical and non-surgical care for spine conditions, supported by a dedicated Spine Surgery ICU, 24/7 emergency department, as well as facilities for Day Care Spine Surgery. Additionally, our Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Centre ensures complete recovery with personalised pre- and post-operative care. Our services include:

Microscopic/endoscopic cervical discectomy and fusion, where a minimally invasive surgery is done to remove a damaged disc in the neck and stabilise the spine.
Microscopic/endoscopic lumbar discectomy and canal decompression, where a small incision surgery is done to remove part of a bulging disc or bone in the lower back, relieving pressure on nerves.
Dynamic fixation solution, involving a flexible spinal implant system that stabilises the spine while allowing limited natural movement.
Fixation for spinal instability, where surgery is done to stabilise the bones connecting the skull to the spine or the upper spine to prevent nerve damage.
Spinal fusion, where two or more bones in the spine are permanently joined to correct slippage and relieve pain.
Microscopic surgery, where surgery is performed using a microscope to remove tumours inside or near the spinal cord.
Embolisation, where a non-surgical method is used to block abnormal blood vessels or cut blood supply to spinal tumours.
Vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty and discography, where spinal fractures or damaged discs are treated by injecting cement to stabilise the bone.
Baclofen pump treatment, where a device is implanted under the skin to deliver medicine directly to the spinal cord to relieve severe muscle stiffness.
Neurostimulator implantation, where a small device placed under the skin sends mild electrical signals to nerves to manage pain or bladder control issues.
Non-operative management and neurorehabilitation, involving recovery through medications, physical therapy, and counselling instead of surgery
Pre-operative diagnostic and intraoperative evoked potential monitoring, involving real-time testing of nerve function during surgery to protect the spinal cord and nerves.
Electromyogram (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV), involving tests that check the health of your muscles and nerves by measuring electrical signals.

Our Department of Neuro Spine Surgery features fully integrated operating rooms (ORs), including a hybrid OR for advanced interventional spine procedures. We use state-of-the-art technology to ensure safe, precise, and minimally invasive care, including:

Carl Zeiss Pentero Microscope and Karl Storz Spine Endoscope for minimally invasive spine surgeries
Intraoperative neuromonitors for surgical safety
Stryker 3i Spinal Navigation System for precision in spinal fixation
Bone Scalpel and Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA) for delicate removal of vertebral and spinal cord tumours.

Cervical and lumbar disc prolapse: A slipped or bulging disc in the neck or lower back causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
Spinal canal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
Spinal instability, including craniovertebral and cervical instability: Looseness or abnormal movement in the spine that can lead to pain or nerve issues.
Spondylolisthesis: Forward slipping of one vertebra over the one below it, often causing back pain.
Intradural and extradural spinal tumours: Non-cancerous or cancerous growths inside or outside the spinal cord covering.
Arteriovenous malformations, dural fistulas, and spinal tumours: Abnormal blood vessels or tumours in the spine
Vertebral compression fractures: Small cracks in the bones of the spine, usually due to osteoporosis or injury.
Chronic back pain: Persistent pain from spine fractures.
Spasticity: Severe muscle stiffness or spasms.
Spina bifida and tethered cord syndrome: Birth defects affecting spinal development, leading to nerve problems.
Chiari malformation and myelomeningocele: Structural issues in the brain or spinal cord that can cause serious symptoms.
Spinal trauma: Injury to the spine from accidents or falls, potentially affecting movement or sensation.
Neuromuscular disorders: Conditions affecting nerves and muscles, diagnosed with tests that measure electrical activity.
Tuberculosis and other infectious spine diseases (e.g., Koch’s Spine)
