FAQs

Q: What are the symptoms of a spine condition that require urgent evaluation?
Urgent care is necessary if you experience red flag symptoms such as a sudden loss of bowel or bladder control or severe leg weakness. These signs often indicate acute nerve or spinal cord compression that requires immediate intervention to prevent permanent damage.
Q: What is endoscopic spine surgery and how does it differ from traditional open spine operations?
Endoscopic surgery is a keyhole technique that uses a tiny camera and tube to treat the spine through a sub-centimeter incision. Unlike traditional open surgery, it preserves the surrounding muscles and ligaments, leading to minimal blood loss and a much faster return to work.
Q: How is a slipped disc treated and when does it require surgery?
Most slipped discs are managed conservatively with physiotherapy and medication for 6 to 12 weeks. Surgery is typically reserved for cases where pain remains unrelenting or if there is progressive neurological loss, such as leg weakness or numbness.
Q: What is spinal stenosis and what surgical options are available when conservative treatment fails?
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal, which puts painful pressure on the nerves. If non-surgical methods fail, options include decompression surgeries like a laminectomy to create space or spinal fusion to stabilize the affected area.
Q: What is the difference between cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) spine surgery?
Cervical surgery often uses an anterior approach through the front of the neck to protect the spinal cord, whereas lumbar surgery is usually performed through the back. Recovery for the neck typically involves a soft collar, while lower back recovery focuses on core strengthening and avoiding heavy lifting.
Q: What spine conditions does Dr. Apoorv Kumar treat using minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques in Lucknow?
Dr. Kumar utilizes these advanced methods to treat herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc diseases. He also manages spinal trauma and tumors using minimally invasive stabilization to reduce post-operative pain and tissue damage.
Q: How does Dr. Apoorv Kumar decides when spinal fusion is necessary versus motion-preserving surgery?
Spinal fusion is chosen when the spine is unstable or deformed, as it permanently joins vertebrae to stop painful movement. Motion-preserving surgery, like disc replacement, is preferred for younger patients with healthy joints who wish to maintain their natural spinal flexibility.
Q: Does Dr. Apoorv Kumar treat cervical (neck) spine problems?
Yes, he has extensive experience in managing cervical conditions such as spondylitis, myelopathy, and neck disc herniations. He offers both conservative care and surgical solutions like ACDF (fusion) or artificial disc replacement.
Q: What is endoscopic spine surgery?
It is an ultra-minimally invasive procedure where a high-definition endoscope is used to visualize and repair spinal issues through a very small opening. This precise technique allows for the removal of bone spurs or herniated discs with virtually no damage to healthy muscle tissue.
Q: How can I book a spine surgery consultation with Dr. Apoorv Kumar at Apollo Hospitals Lucknow?
Appointments can be booked through visiting the Apollomedics Super Specialty Hospital website.
