Question : I need minimal invacive spine surury on out pation basis
Brief Answer:
That can be done by a neurosurgeon or orthopedician depending on indication
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, it can be done on visit to a neurosurgeon or orthopedist after reviewing your radiological Scans like CT or MRI and depending upon the cause of spinal issues.
Like disc herniation and compression will require lesser time and will be minimally invasive in true sense but if disc prolapse or structural deformities are present it may need long term hospitalization after repair.
Similarly risk of bleeding or blood transfusion which you want to avoid is exactly proportional to amount of repair and expertise of surgeon to avoid bleeders as much as possible and exact prediction will be difficult.
Also on out patients visit these can be done but risk of side effects or complications increase significantly because of poor post op nursing care or immediate mobilization.
The major costs are of surgery than hospitalization for a day or two and comparatively it's safer to follow the standard protocol of post surgical care in each case to avoid risk of complications.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Regards
