Overview

Understanding spine surgery abroad

Spine care addresses conditions such as disc herniation, spinal stenosis, deformity and instability. Many spine conditions are managed without surgery; when surgery is recommended, techniques range from minimally invasive to complex reconstruction.

Because spine decisions are nuanced, a careful review of your imaging by specialist spine surgeons is an important first step. TreatVero helps you obtain those reviews and options.

Common reasons patients seek this treatment

  • Persistent back or neck pain with nerve symptoms
  • Disc herniation (slipped disc)
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Scoliosis or other spinal deformity
  • A second opinion on recommended spine surgery

General treatment approaches

How specialists commonly approach it

A general overview — not a recommendation. Which approach suits you is decided by your treating doctors.

    Non-surgical care

    Physiotherapy, medication and pain-management procedures such as injections.

  • 02

    Minimally invasive surgery

    Smaller incisions for procedures such as microdiscectomy, where suitable.

  • 03

    Decompression

    Relieving pressure on nerves or the spinal cord.

  • 04

    Spinal fusion

    Joining vertebrae to provide stability, sometimes with implants.

Factors affecting cost

Why estimates differ

TreatVero doesn't publish prices. Hospitals prepare estimates for your specific case, and these factors usually explain the differences:

  • The hospital and city you choose
  • Your surgeon's or consultant's fees
  • Room category during your hospital stay
  • Your medical condition, test results and any other health conditions
  • Length of hospital stay and time needed in the country
  • Implants, devices or medicines required
  • Number of spinal levels treated
  • Use of implants or navigation technology

Reports hospitals commonly ask for

  • Recent MRI of the spine (report and images)
  • X-rays, including standing films if taken
  • Nerve conduction studies if done
  • Treatment history
  • Current medications

Questions to ask a doctor

Better questions, clearer decisions.

Bring these to your consultations. Your coordinator can help arrange follow-up calls with the treating team if anything is unclear.

  • Is surgery necessary, or should I try other treatments first?
  • What does my imaging show, and how does it explain my symptoms?
  • Which procedure do you recommend, and what are its risks?
  • What recovery and restrictions should I expect?
  • When can I travel, and how should I sit during the flight?
