The Reality for U.S. Spine Patients

Back Pain is the #1 Cause of Disability in the U.S. The Surgery Costs Are Staggering.

More than 80% of Americans will experience debilitating back pain at some point in their lives. For those who need surgical intervention — a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or scoliosis — the cost of care in the U.S. can reach $100,000 or more, with months-long waitlists and no guarantee of insurance coverage.

Our partner hospitals in India and Türkiye offer the same spine surgical techniques, navigation systems, and implant brands as leading U.S. spine centers — at 80–90% lower cost, with internationally trained surgeons, English-speaking teams, and a dedicated Case Manager coordinating every step of your journey.

Available Procedures

Spine Surgery & Sports Injury Procedures Available Abroad

From minimally invasive microdiscectomy to complex scoliosis correction and sports ligament reconstruction — our partner centers cover the full surgical spectrum.

Spinal Disc Replacement

Artificial disc replacement (ADR) for the cervical and lumbar spine — preserving motion and eliminating the drawbacks of fusion for appropriate candidates.

Spinal Fusion (TLIF / PLIF / ALIF)

Single and multi-level spinal fusion using internationally certified pedicle screw and rod systems — stabilising the spine and eliminating instability-related pain.

Microdiscectomy

Minimally invasive removal of herniated disc material compressing spinal nerves — typically returning patients to mobility within days, with a short hospital stay.

Laminectomy & Laminoplasty

Surgical decompression of the spinal canal for stenosis — relieving pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, reducing pain and restoring function.

Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic approach to discectomy and foraminal decompression — smaller than a 1 cm incision, local anaesthesia option, same-day discharge possible.

Scoliosis Correction

Corrective surgery for adolescent and adult scoliosis using modern spinal instrumentation — including minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques at select centers.

ACL & Sports Ligament Reconstruction

Arthroscopic ACL, PCL, and multi-ligament reconstruction for active patients — performed by sports medicine fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons.

Rotator Cuff & Shoulder Repair

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, SLAP labrum repair, and shoulder stabilisation surgery — minimally invasive techniques with structured sports rehabilitation from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Spine Surgery & Sports Injury Treatment Abroad

How much does spinal fusion surgery cost in India compared to the U.S.?

Spinal fusion in the U.S. typically costs $50,000–$100,000. The same procedure at an accredited hospital in India costs $7,000–$12,000 — a saving of 80–90%. Türkiye offers $9,000–$15,000. Sultan GHC provides a personalised estimate based on your MRI at no charge.

Are spine surgeons in India and Türkiye as qualified as U.S. surgeons?

How long will I need to stay after spine surgery?

For microdiscectomy, 7–10 days in-country is typical. For spinal fusion or disc replacement, 14–21 days is recommended — including pre-op evaluation, surgery, hospital recovery, and physiotherapy before flying clearance. Your Case Manager coordinates the full itinerary.
