Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Disc, tumour and trauma care
As a spine surgeon in Guwahati, Dr Bhaskar Sharma provides treatment planning for disc disease, spinal tumours, spinal trauma, and minimally invasive spine surgery where suitable.
Spine Problems and Surgical Need
Many spine problems improve without surgery, but surgery may be considered when there is severe nerve compression, weakness, walking difficulty, bladder or bowel symptoms, spinal tumour, unstable fracture, or persistent pain despite appropriate treatment.
Minimally Invasive Approach
Minimally invasive spine surgery aims to reduce tissue disruption in selected cases. Treatment planning considers MRI findings, neurological examination, pain pattern, instability, previous treatments, and the patient’s recovery goals.
