Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery | Dr. Bharat P. & Dr. Ajay Kumar S P | Manipal Hospital Whitefield

In this month’s podcast, Dr. Bharat P. Sarkar, Consultant - Spine Surgery, Back & Neck Pain, sits down with Dr. Ajay Kumar S P, Consultant - Spine Care, at Manipal Hospital Whitefield, to discuss common spine disorders, symptoms, and treatment options, focusing on modern minimally invasive spine surgery. As the conversation goes, both doctors explain diagnosis, surgical indications, recovery benefits, and patient outcomes for decompression and fusion surgery. More than 95% of slipped disc patients don’t require surgery and can be treated effectively with medicines, physiotherapy, and injections. Surgery is only recommended when conservative treatment fails or when symptoms significantly affect quality of life. Decompression surgery is performed for patients with nerve compression causing leg pain, sciatica, numbness, or weakness. Fusion surgery is advised when there is spinal instability, recurrent disc herniation, spinal deformity, or severe back pain associated with instability. The session emphasizes early intervention, advanced surgical techniques, and how effective spine care can relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life.
