FAQs

Q: What are the common causes of chronic lower back pain that may eventually need surgery?
Surgery is needed for structural issues like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or spondylolisthesis. These conditions physically pinch nerves. If pain radiates into legs or causes weakness that pills cannot fix, surgical decompression is the only way to stop nerve death. Bone rubbing bone requires widening the canal to restore spinal stability.
Q: What is artificial disc replacement and how does it compare to spinal fusion?
Fusion locks bones and stops movement. Artificial discs replace the damaged part while keeping your spine flexible. This is better for younger patients. It prevents levels above and below from wearing out too fast. Preserving motion mimics natural shock absorption and allows a natural range of movement during your daily activities.
Q: What is deep brain stimulation (DBS) and how does it help patients with Parkinson's disease or tremors?
DBS is a brain pacemaker. Electrodes block signals that cause tremors and stiffness. It reduces the need for heavy meds when drugs stop working. A generator resets faulty circuits. While not a cure, it provides a decade of better mobility. It targets deep brain structures to fix drug-induced motor issues.
Q: When is minimally invasive spine surgery preferred over traditional open spine surgery?
We use tiny tubes instead of big cuts. This saves back muscles from damage. There is less blood loss and faster healing. Most patients walk the next day. It is ideal for disc repairs. Small incisions mean less pain and lower infection risk. Some massive tumors still need traditional open access.
Q: What spinal conditions cause numbness or weakness in the legs and require urgent surgical attention?
Numbness in the saddle area or losing bladder control is a surgical emergency. This is Cauda Equina Syndrome. You must operate within 24 hours or risk permanent paralysis. Massive disc ruptures choke nerve roots and kill blood supply. Any delay can cause lifelong sexual dysfunction or permanent, irreversible leg foot drop.
Q: What spine and brain surgical procedures Brig. Dr. Saurabh Kumar Verma perform at Apollo Hospitals Lucknow?
He does Awake Craniotomy for brain tumors and DBS for movement disorders. On the spine, he does artificial discs and complex CVJ reconstructions. Awake surgery lets him map speech and motor skills while removing tumors. This ensures the patient keeps their personality and motor function intact after the operation is over.
Q: How does Brig. Dr. Verma's background as a military surgeon influenced his approach to trauma and spine injuries?
Military surgeons follow the Golden Hour rule. Brig. Dr. Verma uses strategic, high-speed plans for trauma. He handles blast and high-impact injuries with zero-error precision. This tactical mindset prioritizes rapid stabilization and immediate decompression. He views every surgery as a mission to save the brain and spinal cord from injury.
Q: Can Brig. Dr. Saurabh Kumar Verma evaluates patients with failed previous spine surgeries?
Yes. Failed surgery needs a veteran’s eye. He looks for missed instability or scar tissue choking nerves. Some old surgeries were done at the wrong level. He uses 3D scans to map a revision plan. Correcting a pseudoarthrosis or a failed fusion requires 25 years of experience to get right.
Q: What is the expected recovery timeline after minimally invasive disc surgery with Brig. Dr. Verma?
You walk the next day and leave in 48 hours. Desk work starts in two weeks. No heavy lifting for two months. Full strength returns by month three. Tiny incisions mean the body heals faster. A graduated therapy program starts a week later to strengthen the core and restore spinal posture
Q: How do I schedule a neuro and spine surgery consultation at Apollo Hospitals Lucknow?
Appointments run 9 am to 5 pm, Monday to Saturday. Book via the Apollo portal or call the desk. Bring your actual MRI, Dr. Brig. Verma must see the raw images to plan a personalized path. Do not just bring the report; digital scans are vital
