Spine Surgery

Minimally Invasive & Complex Spine Surgery

Spine surgery requires precise technique and careful patient selection. Our partner centers offer the full spectrum of spine procedures from simple microdiscectomy to complex deformity correction. Minimally invasive approaches reduce tissue damage and speed recovery, while motion-preserving options like artificial disc replacement maintain spinal flexibility.

常见问题

Is fusion or disc replacement better?

Disc replacement preserves motion and may reduce stress on adjacent discs, but is only suitable for specific patients with intact facets and no instability. Fusion is more versatile and predictable for most conditions.

How long is recovery after spine surgery?

Microdiscectomy: 2-4 weeks. Fusion: 3-6 months for full recovery. Most patients can return to desk work at 4-6 weeks post-fusion. Heavy lifting restricted for 3 months.

Will I lose mobility after spinal fusion?

Single-level fusion minimally affects overall spinal motion. Multi-level fusions have more impact. Disc replacement maintains motion if you are a candidate.

What is adjacent segment disease?

Increased stress on discs above or below a fusion can accelerate degeneration. Occurs in 10-20% of patients within 10 years. Disc replacement may reduce this risk.

What is spine surgery China cost for fusion or disc replacement?

Spine surgery China cost for single-level fusion is approximately $12,000 (vs $65,000+ in the US). Microdiscectomy from $4,000; artificial disc replacement from $12,000—typically 50-70% lower than US/UK with the same implants.
