Complex Spine Surgery
Complex Spine Surgery treats advanced and challenging spinal conditions that require careful reconstruction, stabilisation, and correction. Dr. Rahul Prasad, with fellowship training in complex spine surgery, uses advanced imaging, neuronavigation, and precise surgical techniques to restore spinal stability and alignment, relieve nerve compression, and improve function and quality of life.
What is Complex Spine Surgery?
Complex spine surgery addresses conditions that go beyond routine disc or nerve problems — such as spinal deformity, instability, multi-level disease, tumours, infections, or failed previous surgery. These cases often involve realigning the spine, removing damaged or diseased structures, and stabilising the spine using implants such as screws, rods, and cages. The goal is to correct the underlying problem, protect the spinal cord and nerves, and rebuild a strong, stable, and well-aligned spine. Every procedure is carefully planned to suit the individual patient’s condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
A surgery is considered complex when it involves deformity correction, spinal instability, tumours, infections, multi-level disease, or revision of a previous failed surgery — often requiring reconstruction and fixation.
The spine is stabilised using implants such as screws, rods, and cages that hold the vertebrae in the correct position while the spine heals and fuses.
Yes. With advanced imaging, neuronavigation, and experienced spine surgical care, even complex procedures can be performed safely and precisely.
Recovery is more gradual than routine spine surgery, often taking several weeks to a few months, along with structured rehabilitation to rebuild strength and mobility.
