Q. What is minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) and can I have it in India?
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) uses small incisions, specialised retractors, and real-time imaging to treat disc herniations, spinal stenosis, and instability with less muscle damage, less blood loss, and faster recovery than open surgery. Most patients are mobile within 24 hours. Wockhardt‘s spine surgeons perform MISS routinely for both cervical and lumbar conditions.
Q. What is epilepsy surgery and is it available in India for international patients?
Epilepsy surgery removes or disconnects the brain area causing seizures in patients who do not respond to anti-epileptic medications. Wockhardt‘s epilepsy programme includes advanced video-EEG monitoring, functional MRI, and surgical resection. It is available for adults and children.
Q. How do I travel to India from Africa for spine surgery?
Patients from Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and South Africa need an Indian Medical Visa (MED Visa). Wockhardt‘s international team provides an invitation letter, documentation support, and step-by-step visa guidance. Direct or connecting flights to Bangalore, Chennai, or Delhi are available from most major African cities. Airport transfer, accommodation, and a dedicated coordinator are arranged.

Q. How long do I need to stay in India for spine surgery?
For microdiscectomy or laminectomy, plan 10–14 days total (3–5 days hospital + physiotherapy). For spinal fusion, plan 3–4 weeks. For complex deformity correction or multi-level fusion, allow 4–6 weeks. All patients receive a structured home rehabilitation protocol for continuation in their home country.
Q. Is it safe to fly after spine surgery in India?
For spinal procedures, most patients can fly 2–4 weeks after minimally invasive surgery and 4–6 weeks after major fusion. Wockhardt provides a fitness-to-fly certificate, medication list, and emergency contact card for all international patients.
Q. Can I get a remote second opinion on my brain or spine condition from Wockhardt?
Yes. Wockhardt offers video consultations and remote second opinion services for all spine conditions. Upload your MRI, CT scan, biopsy reports, and referral letter via the online portal or WhatsApp. A consultant spine specialist will review your case and provide a written opinion with treatment recommendations within 24–48 hours.
Q. Am I too old for spine surgery? Is there an age limit?
There is no fixed upper age limit. Patients in their 70s and 80s regularly undergo spinal decompression surgery at Wockhardt. Suitability is assessed based on overall health, cognitive function, and imaging findings — not age alone. Minimally invasive options are particularly suitable for elderly patients as they reduce physiological stress.

Recovery typically begins within 24 hours of spine surgery with supervised walking and physiotherapy. Wockhardt’s rehabilitation team provides a personalised recovery plan that includes:

- Home rehab protocol for your local physiotherapist

Most patients return to desk work in 4–6 weeks and full activity in 3–6 months.
