Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Does every herniated disc require surgery? No, surgery is typically considered only after conservative management (physical therapy and medication) has failed for 6-12 weeks.
• What are the success rates for tumor resection? Success depends on tumor localization and size; however, with modern navigation techniques, safety profiles and surgical success rates have reached unprecedented levels.
• When can I return to work? Recovery timelines vary by procedure, but in cases of micro-surgical intervention, most patients resume normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the nature of their occupation.
