When is Spine Surgery an Emergency?

Most back pain is not an emergency. However, if you experience any of the following "Red Flag" symptoms, you must seek immediate medical attention.

Cauda Equina Syndrome Warning Signs:

  • Loss of Bowel or Bladder Control: Inability to hold urine/stool or inability to pass them.
  • Saddle Anesthesia: Numbness in the groin, buttocks, or genital area.
  • Severe Progressive Weakness: Sudden inability to lift your foot (foot drop) or inability to walk.

If you have these symptoms, call our emergency line (+91 97782 80044) or visit Yashoda Hospital Malakpet Casualty immediately.

Why Choose Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Same-Day Discharge

Most patients go home the same day, reducing hospital stay and costs.

🔬

Smaller Incisions

6-8mm incisions instead of traditional large cuts, reducing scarring.

🏃

Faster Recovery

Return to work in 1-3 weeks for desk jobs, much faster than traditional surgery.

🛡️

Less Pain

Reduced post-operative pain and faster healing with minimal tissue damage.

Conditions We Treat

In addition to spine care, Dr. Sayuj specializes in Brain Tumor Surgery using advanced neuronavigation.

Slip Disc (Herniated Disc)

Endoscopic discectomy for herniated discs causing leg pain, numbness, and weakness. Our minimally invasive approach provides relief with minimal recovery time.

  • Endoscopic Discectomy: 6-8mm incision for disc removal
  • Same-day Discharge: Most patients go home the same day
  • Faster Recovery: Return to work in 1-3 weeks

Spinal Stenosis

Minimally invasive decompression for spinal stenosis causing leg pain, numbness, and difficulty walking. Our endoscopic approach preserves spinal stability.

  • Endoscopic Decompression: Relief for leg pain and numbness
  • Preserved Stability: Maintains spinal structure
  • Better Outcomes: Improved walking and function

Sciatica & Leg Pain

Sharp, shooting pain radiating down the leg. We treat the root cause—whether it's a disc bulge or stenosis—not just the symptoms.

  • Precision Diagnosis: MRI-based nerve root targeting
  • 90% Non-Surgical: Most cases resolve with injections

Spondylolisthesis

Slippage of one vertebra over another causing instability. We offer minimally invasive stabilization (MISS TLIF) for permanent relief.

  • MISS TLIF: Keyhole fusion technique
  • Rapid Mobilization: Walk next day after fusion

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Safety

    • Is endoscopic spine surgery safe for elderly patients?

      Yes, because it uses local anesthesia and smaller incisions, it lowers risks like blood loss and infection, making it safer for elderly patients with other health conditions.

  • Recovery

    • How soon can I walk after endoscopic spine surgery?

      Most patients walk within 3-4 hours after surgery. We encourage early mobilization to speed up recovery and prevent clots.

  • Cost & Insurance

    • Does insurance cover endoscopic spine surgery in Hyderabad?

      Yes, most major insurance providers and TPA approvals cover endoscopic spine procedures at Yashoda Hospitals. We assist with the pre-authorization process.

    • What is the cost of endoscopic spine surgery in Hyderabad?

      The cost typically ranges from ₹1.5 Lakhs to ₹2.5 Lakhs, depending on the hospital room category and complexity. This is often cheaper than open surgery when considering the shorter hospital stay and faster return to work.

  • Outcomes

    • What is the success rate of endoscopic discectomy?

      The success rate is over 90% for properly selected patients, with a recurrence rate of less than 5%, comparable to or better than traditional open surgery.

  • Procedure

    • Will I need general anesthesia?

      Many endoscopic procedures can be done under local anesthesia with conscious sedation, meaning you are awake but comfortable. This avoids the risks of general anesthesia.
