Spine Surgery: India vs Abroad
By Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti, Neurosurgeon & Endoscopic Surgeon, Apollo Hospitals, Secunderabad.
Patients travel to Hyderabad for full-endoscopic keyhole spine surgery, a neurosurgeon who operates on the spine, 4K + Joimax HD equipment and Apollo Hospitals backup — often without long waits.
Patients from across India and overseas travel to Hyderabad for endoscopic spine surgery. The reasons are consistent: access to full-endoscopic (keyhole) technique, a neurosurgeon who operates on the spine, modern 4K and Joimax HD equipment, and the institutional backup of Apollo Hospitals, Secunderabad.
For many patients the same minimally invasive surgery is available here without the long waits common elsewhere, and recovery is quick — most patients walk the same day and travel home within a short time. A pre-travel assessment can often begin by reviewing your MRI remotely.
If you are considering treatment away from home, the factors that matter most are the surgeon’s specific endoscopic experience and the equipment used — not the location alone.
