Cervical spine surgery treats issues in the neck, including a slipped disc or a narrowed spinal canal pressing on nerves or the spinal cord, through the front or the back of the neck.

The AAOS describes front-of-neck options including anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), corpectomy and disc replacement, and back-of-neck options including laminectomy with or without fusion and laminoplasty, with no approach proven better overall.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) points out that surgery for spinal cord compression in the neck aims mostly to stop further decline, reporting that about a third of people improve, a third stay the same and a third keep worsening.

A typical stay is one to two days, a collar may be used, lifting is restricted and physiotherapy commonly begins at about four to six weeks, whereas a fusion can take 6 to 12 months to become solid.

General risks include infection, bleeding and nerve or spinal cord injury, and swallowing and voice issues can follow surgery through the front of the neck.

Flying home: no aviation rule fixes a wait after spinal surgery, so the surgeon decides once you can walk well and sit for the length of the flight, and an aisle seat makes this easier.

A Gurgaon quote for cervical spine surgery is normally made up of these items:

• Scans and fitness tests: MRI or CT plus an anaesthetic check.
• Operating time: which grows with the number of spinal levels.
• Implants for the spine: screws, cages or a disc replacement.
• Approach: front or back.
• Levels: how many are treated.
• Technique: fusion or motion-preserving.
• Stay: commonly one to two days.

Spine surgery costs depend on the number of levels, implants and length of stay, so complex or multi-level cases in Gurgaon can cost more than the range above.

Both orthopaedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons operate on the spine in Gurgaon, and some units use navigation for complex cases, so ask which team and which equipment your plan uses.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

Gurgaon sits on the south-western edge of Delhi, a short road transfer from Indira Gandhi International Airport, which is the usual arrival point for international patients.
