Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
When should I consult a neurosurgeon?
You should consult a neurosurgeon if you experience persistent back pain, neck pain, numbness, weakness, sciatica, spinal injuries, brain tumours, or neurological symptoms requiring specialist evaluation.
What is minimally invasive spine surgery?
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) uses specialised instruments and smaller incisions to treat spinal disorders with less muscle damage, reduced pain, minimal blood loss, and faster recovery.
What is endoscopic spine surgery?
Endoscopic spine surgery is an advanced keyhole procedure performed using a high-definition camera and specialised instruments to treat slipped discs and nerve compression with minimal tissue disruption.
What is UBE spine surgery?
Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic (UBE) Spine Surgery is one of the latest minimally invasive techniques that allows excellent visualisation while preserving surrounding muscles and spinal structures.
Can a slipped disc heal without surgery?
Many slipped discs improve with medication, physiotherapy, and lifestyle modification. Surgery is recommended only when symptoms persist, neurological deficits develop, or severe nerve compression is present.

Robotic-assisted spine surgery improves surgical accuracy, implant placement, and precision while helping reduce complications in selected spine procedures.
