Discectomy in Cura Hospitals
About the clinic
A discectomy at Cura Hospitals in Bengaluru, India, is a specialized procedure to treat herniated or degenerated discs. The hospital uses a conservative-first protocol, trying physiotherapy and lifestyle changes before recommending surgery. If surgery is necessary, the clinic offers minimally invasive keyhole techniques to help patients recover faster.
Advanced Spine Surgery at Cura Hospitals
Cura Hospitals operates two campuses in Bengaluru and holds accreditation from the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH). The facility uses 3T MRI and CT imaging to identify the exact location of nerve compression. This high-resolution diagnostic technology helps surgeons plan the procedure with high precision. The hospital also features 60 ICU beds with real-time monitoring to support patients during their recovery.
Minimally Invasive Discectomy Techniques
The neurosurgery team performs both open and minimally invasive disc surgeries. During a keyhole discectomy, the surgeon makes a small incision in the affected region. This method involves less soft tissue manipulation and results in less blood loss. Patients typically experience lower levels of post-operative pain and a quicker return to daily activities compared to traditional surgery. The procedure is suitable for both lumbar and cervical disc issues that cause pain, numbness, or weakness.
Expert Neurosurgery Team
Discectomy procedures are performed by experienced neurosurgeons, including Dr. Abhay Sikaria and Dr. Limesh. Dr. Abhay Sikaria holds an MCh in Neurosurgery, while Dr. Limesh is a specialist with DNB qualifications. These specialists work alongside a dedicated team of neurologists and pain specialists. This collaboration helps manage patient care from the initial diagnosis through post-operative rehabilitation.
Recovery and Patient Support
Post-operative care involves a coordinated plan with physiotherapists to restore mobility and strength. A dedicated International Patient Services team helps visitors with medical opinions and travel planning. They also manage follow-up care after the patient returns home. This support helps maintain the continuity of treatment for those traveling to Bengaluru for spine care.
If you are experiencing back pain or nerve weakness, you can request a consultation through Bookimed to explore your treatment options.
