Understanding Spinal Fusion

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that permanently connects two or more vertebrae in your spine, eliminating motion between them. The procedure involves using bone graft material and sometimes metal hardware to facilitate the fusion process.

India offers world-class spinal fusion surgery with advanced techniques including minimally invasive approaches, robotic-assisted surgery, and state-of-the-art implants. Our spine surgeons are internationally trained and experienced in complex spinal procedures.

The goal of spinal fusion is to eliminate painful motion, correct deformity, and provide stability to the spine while maintaining as much normal function as possible.
