Get Free ConsultationDegenerative and structural spine conditions — herniated discs, stenosis, spondylolisthesis — cause pain by compressing nerves or allowing abnormal spinal motion. Surgery addresses the specific mechanical problem, confirmed by your MRI and clinical exam.
Removes disc material or bone pressing on a nerve, often the least invasive option for a herniated disc.
Permanently joins vertebrae to eliminate painful motion, used for instability or after significant disc/bone removal.
Smaller incisions and specialised instruments for eligible cases, generally meaning less tissue damage and faster recovery.
Your imaging confirms the diagnosis and whether decompression, fusion or a minimally invasive approach applies.
Bloodwork and anaesthesia clearance completed shortly after arrival in India.
Duration and technique depend on how many spinal levels are involved and whether fusion is needed.
Guided walking typically begins within a day of surgery, where clinically appropriate.
A structured physiotherapy plan is shared, with handover to your local physiotherapist if needed.
Figures below are indicative ranges reported across accredited Indian hospitals, for planning purposes only — not a marketed or final price.
| Procedure | Indicative cost (USD) | Typical hospital stay |
|---|---|---|
| Minimally invasive discectomy | $4,500 – $6,500 | 2–3 days |
| Single-level spinal fusion | $7,000 – $10,000 | 4–5 days |
| Multi-level spinal fusion | $9,500 – $12,000+ | 5–7 days |
| Scoliosis correction surgery | $10,000 – $16,000 | 6–8 days |
What this actually covers, and what it doesn't: How many spinal levels are involved and whether hardware (screws, rods) is used are the biggest cost drivers — MedTrav's estimate confirms this after your MRI is reviewed by the operating surgeon.

Common referrals include herniated or degenerated discs, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis and scoliosis — structural and degenerative spine conditions, distinct from spine tumour surgery which is coordinated through our Neurosciences programme.
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is available for many eligible cases, using smaller incisions and specialised instruments — generally meaning less muscle damage and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery, though not every case qualifies.
Fusion permanently joins two or more vertebrae to eliminate painful motion between them, often combined with disc removal or decompression. Whether you need fusion depends on your specific diagnosis — not all spine surgery involves fusion.
This varies significantly by procedure — a minimally invasive discectomy may mean walking the same day with return to light activity in 2–4 weeks, while multi-level fusion surgery involves a longer hospital stay and a gradual 3–6 month recovery.
Yes, in almost all cases — a structured rehabilitation plan is part of your discharge instructions, and MedTrav coordinates handover to your local physiotherapist if you're returning home during the recovery phase.
