Comprehensive Spine Surgery

Advanced Spine Surgery in Hyderabad

Living with chronic back or neck pain can affect every part of your life. At Yashoda Hospital, Malakpet, Dr. Sayuj Krishnan delivers advanced spine surgery solutions for slipped discs, stenosis, instability, and deformity with a strong focus on minimally invasive techniques.

What Sets Malakpet Care Apart

  • • Fellowship-trained spine surgeon with advanced endoscopic expertise
  • • On-site imaging and day-care MISS OT within Yashoda Hospital, Malakpet
  • • Dedicated physiotherapy and return-to-work planning for Hyderabad’s workforce
  • • Personalised counselling for patients and family members at every step

Conditions We Treat with Spine Surgery

Surgery is typically considered when targeted physiotherapy, medication, and pain procedures fail to control symptoms or when neurological deficits threaten long-term function. We routinely help Hyderabad patients dealing with:

  • Lumbar & Cervical Disc Herniation: Persistent arm/leg pain, numbness, or weakness due to nerve compression.
  • Spinal Canal Stenosis: Walking intolerance and heaviness relieved by rest, often seen in older adults.
  • Spondylolisthesis: Slippage causing mechanical back pain or nerve symptoms that require stabilization.
  • Spine Tumors & Infections: Lesions requiring biopsy, decompression, or stabilization for spinal cord protection.

What to Expect at Yashoda Hospital, Malakpet

Every patient meets Dr. Sayuj personally for a detailed review of symptoms, neurological exam, and imaging studies. When conservative therapy fails or weakness progresses, surgical decompression or stabilization provides durable protection for the spinal cord and nerves. Whenever possible, full endoscopic or tubular approaches are used to minimise tissue disruption.

For unstable or deformity cases, navigation-guided fusion constructs ensure precise alignment and long-term stability. Our care team in Malakpet coordinates physiotherapy, pain management, and return-to-work planning for office professionals and manual workers alike.

The Consultation Pathway

  1. Bring MRI/CT scans to your first visit for an on-the-spot review.
  2. Receive a detailed explanation of the pathology and all treatment options.
  3. Discuss minimally invasive or fusion approaches tailored to your lifestyle.
  4. Plan post-operative milestones with structured physiotherapy support.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need spine surgery instead of physiotherapy?

If pain persists beyond 6-8 weeks of guided physiotherapy, causes progressive weakness, or interferes with bladder/bowel control, advanced imaging and surgical consultation are essential. Dr. Sayuj reviews MRI findings personally to explain conservative versus surgical options.

What is the recovery time after minimally invasive spine surgery?

Most minimally invasive lumbar decompressions allow assisted walking within 3-4 hours and discharge within 24 hours. Desk professionals generally resume work within 10-14 days, while manual workers may require 4-6 weeks and a staged return-to-work protocol.

Do you treat patients from outside Hyderabad?

Yes. Our coordination team assists patients travelling from across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and neighbouring states with scheduling, accommodation, and follow-up teleconsultations.
