Top Services Offered by Dr. Arvind Umarani
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MIS)
Using smaller incisions and specialized instruments, minimally invasive spine surgery helps reduce muscle injury, blood loss, and overall recovery time. Many patients are able to start walking within hours after surgery and may require a shorter hospital stay compared with traditional open procedures.
Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Biportal endoscopic spine surgery is an advanced minimally invasive technique that uses two small portals—one for a high-definition camera and the other for specialized surgical instruments. This allows precise visualization and targeted treatment of spinal conditions with minimal soft-tissue disruption.
Scoliosis and Spinal Deformity Correction
Covering both adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and adult degenerative deformity, these procedures aim to restore spinal alignment, reduce pain, and improve long-term function. Dr. Arvind Umarani has published comparative research on deformity correction techniques in peer-reviewed journals.
Spinal Tumour Surgery
Management of intradural and extradural spinal tumours, including rare presentations, performed with precision using navigation-assisted techniques to protect neurological function while achieving complete tumour removal where possible.
Cervical Spine Surgery
Including ACDF, cervical laminectomy, cervical laminoplasty, and cervical endoscopic procedures for conditions such as cervical disc herniation, myelopathy, and radiculopathy, performed using both open and minimally invasive approaches.
Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture Management
Osteoporotic spine fractures are common in elderly patients, often occurring after minor falls due to weakened bone quality. Treatment is tailored to the severity of the fracture, pain, spinal alignment, and neurological status. Many patients can be managed conservatively with medications, bracing, physiotherapy, and image-guided injections for pain relief.
These are the specific procedures where Dr. Arvind Umarani has subspecialty-level training.
Areas of Expertise
The following procedures form Dr. Arvind Umarani’s core surgical expertise, refined through structured fellowship training at leading institutions in India and abroad.
Microscopic Lumbar Discectomy
A surgical procedure to remove a herniated disc fragment pressing on a nerve root, performed under microscopic magnification for precision. Patients typically experience rapid relief from leg pain and return to mobility within days.
Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (MIS-TLIF)
A keyhole fusion procedure for conditions including spondylolisthesis, disc degeneration, and instability.
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
Performed through a small incision at the front of the neck, ACDF removes the damaged cervical disc and fuses the adjacent vertebrae to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots, restoring function and reducing pain.
Cervical Laminectomy and Decompression
Removal of bone and tissue pressing on the spinal cord or nerve roots in the cervical spine, used for cervical myelopathy and stenosis. A posterior approach that relieves pressure and prevents further neurological deterioration.
Deformity Correction and Scoliosis Surgery
Spinal deformity correction, including adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), using advanced pedicle screw constructs. The goal is to achieve safe three-dimensional correction, restore spinal balance, and improve posture while preserving neurological safety and long-term function.
Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Covering both monoportal and biportal (UBE) endoscopic approaches for lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spine pathologies.
