Frequently Asked Questions

• Procedures

  • How do I know if I'm a candidate for endoscopic spine surgery?80% of MISS patients walk out on the same day

    Candidates usually have leg-dominant pain from a herniated disc or lumbar stenosis that has not responded to six weeks of supervised physiotherapy and medication.

    During consultation we review MRI scans, complete a focused neurological exam, and discuss work or sport demands before confirming the suitability of an endoscopic approach.

• Recovery

  • What recovery milestones should I expect after minimally invasive surgery?Structured 8-week rehabilitation with tele-support

    Day 0: walk within three hours with physiotherapy support. Week 2: return to desk work once wound inspection is clear.

    We schedule tele-follow ups at 48 hours, seven days, and 30 days, and the eight-week recovery roadmap below outlines each phase in detail.

  • When can I travel or return to the gym after surgery?

    Short domestic travel is generally safe after 7–10 days once pain is controlled and the wound has healed.

    Gym and strength training resume after week six with progressive loading, while high-impact sports restart after clearance during the week-eight review.

• Costs & Insurance

  • How much does minimally invasive spine surgery cost with insurance?

    Endoscopic discectomy packages typically range from INR 95,000 to 1,35,000 for self-pay patients including surgeon fees, OT charges, implants, and follow-up visits.

    Cashless insurance approvals reduce out-of-pocket expense by roughly 12–18% once pre-authorisation is cleared. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your specific procedure and insurance coverage.

  • What documents do you provide for insurance or corporate approvals?

    Our coordination team issues a detailed medical estimate, necessity letter, implant invoice, and operative summary aligned to TPA requirements.

    Corporate employees also receive stamped medical leave summaries and fit-to-work certificates tailored to HR policies.

• Access & Logistics

    Yes. We provide secure video consultations for second opinions and post-operative reviews—share MRI scans via our encrypted portal or WhatsApp before the call.

    International patients receive assistance with itinerary planning, visa documentation, and extended follow-up scheduling.

  • Can I get a second opinion using my existing MRI scans?

    Absolutely. Upload your DICOM files to our portal or bring the CD to clinic—we review images during consult and explain every treatment path in plain language.

    You leave with a written care summary covering conservative care, surgical options, and red-flag symptoms that require urgent attention.

    We combine regional anaesthesia, targeted oral medication, and physiotherapy-led movement drills to keep discomfort below three on ten.

    Patients receive breathing routines, cold-therapy guidance, and mindfulness resources with a 24/7 helpline for escalations.
