Spinal Surgery in Delhi (Endoscopic/Microscopic)
Spinal Surgery in Delhi with Dr. Neelabh focuses on endoscopic and microscopic keyhole techniques to relieve nerve compression, reduce pain, and restore function—with clear recovery protocols coordinated with your physiotherapist.
Keyhole access • Tissue‑sparing • We don’t provide in‑house physiotherapy—protocols shared with your physio
Keyhole precision
Endoscopic camera or operating microscope for millimetre‑level accuracy.
Tissue‑sparing
Small incisions and muscle‑sparing approaches to protect normal structures.
Faster recovery
Clear milestones and precautions to help you mobilise sooner—safely.
Honest guidance
We coordinate with your chosen physiotherapist and supply written protocols.
What is Spinal Surgery in Delhi (Endoscopic/Microscopic)?
Endoscopic and microscopic spine surgery use tiny incisions and magnified vision to treat nerve compression in the neck or back. By preserving muscles and soft tissues, these approaches aim to reduce pain, blood loss, and scarring while enabling precise decompression.
When appropriate, keyhole techniques can be used for disc herniations, stenosis, and selected instability problems. Not every condition is suitable—your plan is individualised.
Conditions Treated with Keyhole Spine Surgery
Herniated disc (cervical/lumbar)
Sciatica or arm pain from nerve root compression.
Spinal stenosis
Narrowed canal/foramen causing leg pain and walking limitation.
Spondylolisthesis
Slipped vertebra with nerve compression; selected cases.
Facet/ligament overgrowth
Decompression to free pinched nerves.
Recurrent disc or cysts
Endoscopic revision or cyst removal in select situations.
Radiculopathy
Arm/leg pain, numbness, or weakness from compressed nerves.
Red flags (urgent): severe/progressive weakness, loss of bladder/bowel control, saddle numbness—seek emergency care.
Benefits
- Smaller incisions and less muscle disruption
- Precise nerve decompression under magnification
- Often day‑care/short‑stay with faster mobilisation
- Clear precautions and recovery milestones
Risks & How We Reduce Them
- Infection, blood clots, bleeding—managed with protocols
- Dural tear, nerve irritation, residual or recurrent symptoms—reduced with meticulous technique
- Instability in select cases—addressed by appropriate procedure choice
Endoscopic & Microscopic Techniques
Endoscopic discectomy
Tiny portal removes herniated disc fragments; minimal muscle disruption.
Microscopic microdiscectomy
Small incision with microscope to decompress the nerve.
Microscopic decompression
Laminotomy/foraminotomy for stenosis to relieve pressure.
Minimally invasive fusion (select)
In carefully chosen instability, MIS TLIF/PLIF may be recommended.
Suitability depends on imaging, symptoms, and stability. We’ll discuss the safest option for your goals.
How Spine Surgery is Performed
- Anaesthesia & positioning: General or regional as appropriate; padded, secure positioning.
- Keyhole access: Endoscopic portals or a small incision with microscope.
- Decompression: Disc fragment removal and/or bone/ligament trimming to free the nerve.
- Stability check: Assess need for additional support in select cases.
- Closure & plan: Small sutures; mobilisation instructions and precautions reviewed.
Recovery Timeline
- Day 0–2: Walk with support; wound care; gentle nerve‑safe movements.
- Week 1–3: Gradual increase in walking; avoid bending/lifting/twisting.
- Week 4–8: Core/hip activation and posture training (per protocol).
- Month 3–6: Progressive return to normal activities; sport as appropriate.
We do not provide in‑house physiotherapy. You’ll receive a written rehab protocol and we’ll coordinate with your chosen physiotherapist or recommend external options.

How to Prepare
Medical clearance
Pre‑op evaluation, labs, ECG, and imaging (X‑ray/MRI) as needed.
Medication review
Guidance on blood thinners, diabetes medicines, and supplements.
Prehab (external)
We recommend prehab with your physiotherapist: posture, core activation, safe movement patterns.
Home setup
Arrange help initially; avoid low seating; keep essentials at waist height.
Healthy habits
Stop smoking, optimise blood sugar/weight, good sleep and protein intake.
