FAQ about Herniated disc surgery in Thailand

When is herniated disc surgery indicated?

Indications to hernia surgery:

  • pressure of the spinal cord by hernia
  • pain insensitive to medicines
  • development of the neurologic disorders
  • other treatments are ineffective.

How is herniated disc surgery performed?

Neurosurgeons apply such technique to remove herniated disc (discectomy, laminectomy): open interventional, endoscopic operation, microsurgery. The choice of the methods depends on the hernia location, disease stage, and symptoms.

What types of ruptured (herniated) disc surgery are performed?

The most common surgeries for hernia treatment are:

  • Laminectomy. This is a removal of a small area of bone tissue near the damaged nerve ending. This surgery allows to reduce hernia pressure of the nerve, restore normal blood supply, get rid of pain.
  • Discectomy is a partial or complete removal of the affected herniated disc. Due to this operation, a sensitivity of nerve ending restores, pain and numbness disappear.
  • Prosthesis or herniated disc replacement. This is implantation of artificial vertebra. It is performed after herniated disc removal.
  • Spinal stabilization is a fixation of herniated discs with special supporting systems (implants, plates, screws). Doctors provide stabilization if the spine does not hold a normal position after hernia removal.

What are the new options for herniated disc surgery?

Among the latest hernia treatments are:

  • Minimally invasive surgery. A doctor uses a special microscope to remove a herniated disc. It allows seeing all nerves and vessels in details. As a result, healthy tissues are not damaged. A patient can return home after slipped disc surgery the next day.
  • Robotic guidance system A doctor performs all movements through small punctures up to 1.5 cm using a special robotic device. The system analyzes doctor's manipulations and makes them smoother excluding the "trembling hand" affect. Such surgeries are very precise and effective.

Is it possible to cure herniated disc completely?

The surgery allows completely getting rid of a herniated disc. However, postoperative screening of patients shows that a possibility of relapse in the neighboring discs is preserved. It is necessary to follow medical recommendations to avoid disease recurrence.

What does herniated disc surgery cost include?

The slipped disc surgery cost usually includes:

  • the procedure itself
  • medications
  • fee for a team of doctors.

  • The location of the chosen hospital. The cost of ruptured disc surgery in Indian hospitals is 1.5-2 times lower than in Turkish ones, 3-4 times — than in Southern Korean, Israeli or Western European medical centers, and about 5-7 times cheaper than in the US or Canadian hospitals. Despite the difference in a price, the quality of hernia surgery remains at about the same level. Numerous certificates (such as JCI, OECI, etc.) confirm high standards of medical services.
  • Doctor's experience. A specialist, who has vast experience in herniated disc surgery, applies the latest technologies, participates in the international conferences, and has positive reviews from patients, may ask for a higher fee. In this case, the hernia surgery cost will be higher.
  • A type of herniated disc surgery. This surgery can be less or more complicated depending on the hernia location, size of an affected area. Due to this, the herniated disc surgery price changes.
