Cervical Laminectomy Surgery in India - Modern Spine Procedure
Friday, March 6th, 2009julia asked:
India has become a global centre of excellence in cervical laminectomy surgery. It has achieved global recognition as a pioneer in spine surgery techniques to help patients who are often termed inoperable. These innovations have saved hundreds of lives across the globe. Besides the best hospitals available in India what attracts thousands of patients is the wide variety of tourist options available that they can visit during their recuperation from the surgery. It has a rich and unique cultural heritage, and has actively preserved its established traditions throughout history. The Taj Mahal in Agra is India’s most popular tourist destination. You can visit all these places and just pay a quarter of the amount of what you would pay for the getting the surgery in USA. Medical tourism is the term coined which covers patients traveling across the globe for tourism purposes clubbing their requirements for treatment of acute illness, elective surgeries such as cardiology, spine procedures like cervical laminectomy surgery in India.
Most neck pain is due to degenerative changes that occur in the intervertebral discs of the cervical spine and the joints between each vertebra. The vast majority of patients who have neck pain will not require any type of operation. However, in some cases degenerative changes in the cervical spine can lead to a very serious condition where there is too much pressure on the spinal cord. When this condition occurs, the entire spinal cord is in danger. One surgical option is to remove the pressure on the spinal cord by opening the spinal canal from the back to make the spinal canal larger. This procedure is called a laminectomy. The spinal cord and nerve roots in the neck are surrounded and protected by the cervical vertebrae. These bones have an opening called the spinal canal through which the spinal cord passes. Ligaments and blood vessels are also present in the spinal canal. The nerve roots start at the spinal cord and pass through an opening between the vertebrae called the intervertebral foramen (or neural foramen). From there, they extend to other parts of the body.
The cost of surgery pales in comparison to the many advantages it offers. Millions and millions of spine surgeries have been performed in recent years with a phenomenal success rate being reported. The total cost will be very less in India, as there is only one hospitalization. The patient can go home by the 10th day after surgery. The government is taking serious initiatives in this regards and plans to start overseas marketing of the country as a medical tourism destination. The opinion is that by marketing the country as a global healthcare destination, it could capitalize on the low-cost, high-quality medical care available in the country. The price for cervical laminectomy surgery in India is very less. It costs only 25% of the price quoted in America.
