Spine Surgery

RNH Hospital Pvt Ltd – Advanced Spine Care & Surgery

Your spine is the foundation of your movement, strength and stability. At RNH Hospital, we bring world-class expertise, technology and compassionate care to restore your spine health. The spine (or backbone) is made up of 33 vertebrae, stacked and connected by discs, joints, ligaments, muscles and nerves. It supports your body upright, enables walking, bending, twisting, and protects the spinal cord, the major pathway of nerve signals.

The spine is divided into regions:
  • Cervical (neck) – C1 to C7
  • Thoracic (mid-back) – T1 to T12
  • Lumbar (lower back) – L1 to L5
  • Sacrum & Coccyx (base) – fused bones
  • When any part of this complex system (discs, vertebrae, nerves, muscles) is damaged, it can lead to pain, numbness, weakness or reduced mobility.

Need for Surgery

Surgery is typically considered after non-surgical treatments (like medications, physical therapy, injections) have not achieved relief.
 Some indicators you may need surgery:

  • Persistent back or neck pain that interferes with walking, sitting, standing or sleep
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in arms or legs
  • Spinal deformity (like scoliosis, kyphosis) or instability
  • Compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots causing neurologic symptoms
  • Trauma or fractures of the spine that cannot be safely managed otherwise

At RNH Hospital, our team evaluates each case personally: your symptoms, imaging findings, lifestyle, overall health and goals.

Conditions we treat

Here’s a breakdown of major spine surgery types we provide, with the benefits and process simplified for you:
a) Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)
  • Smaller incisions, less muscle disruption → faster recovery, less pain
  • Ideal for disc herniations, spinal stenosis, and certain nerve compressions
  • Uses advanced scopes, microscopy, navigation
b) Discectomy / Micro-discectomy
  • Removal of part of a damaged intervertebral disc that is pressing on a nerve
  • Immediate relief of nerve pain (sciatica, arm pain)
  • Quick recovery compared to open surgery
c) Decompression (e.g., Laminectomy, Foraminotomy)
  • Removal or widening of parts of bone/ligament to free compressed nerves or spinal cord
  • Helps relieve leg pain, numbness, and walking difficulty
d) Spinal Fusion & Stabilisation
  • Joining two or more vertebrae to stop abnormal movement
  • For instability, fractures, spondylolisthesis, severe arthritis
  • Involves implants (rods, screws) and bone grafts or substitutes
e) Disc Replacement / Artificial Disc
  • Replacement of a damaged disc with an artificial one to preserve more motion
  • Good option in selected patients who meet criteria
f) Corrective & Deformity Surgeries
  • For scoliosis, kyphosis, complex spinal curves or post-traumatic deformities
  • Involves alignment of the spine plus stabilization
g) Revision Spine Surgery
  • For cases where previous surgery did not fully resolve the problem or new issues have arisen
h) Trauma & Tumor Spine Surgery
  • Treatment of spinal fractures, tumours, and urgent spinal cord compression
  • Needs interdisciplinary team (neurosurgery + orthopaedics + neuro-oncology)

Our Approach

Here’s what to expect and how you can prepare:
  • Full evaluation: medical history, physical exam, blood tests, imaging (X-ray, MRI/CT)
  • Discussion of options: Surgeon explains why surgery is needed, what it involves, expected benefits & risks
  • Pre-operative preparation: Stop certain medications, manage comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension)
  • Home readiness: Arrange for recovery space, help at home, transportation
  • Day of surgery: Admission, pre-op preparation, anaesthesia consultation
  • After surgery: Pain management, early physiotherapy, walking and rehabilitation begin soon
