Treatment Approach & Philosophy
Patient-Centred Care
Dr. Saurabh Verma prioritises non-surgical management wherever clinically appropriate, reserving surgery for cases where conservative treatment has failed or where neurological compromise demands urgent intervention. He conducts detailed pre-operative counselling with patients and families, reviewing imaging together and explaining the rationale for the chosen surgical approach. Post-operative rehabilitation plans are customised and monitored at structured intervals.
Technology & Innovation
Dr. Verma employs full-endoscopic spine surgery systems (PELD and full-endoscopic TLIF), intraoperative fluoroscopy and navigation (O-arm / Stealth) for precise pedicle screw placement, and operating microscope-assisted decompression. He incorporates biologic bone grafting and cage-based fusion constructs to optimise long-term stability outcomes.
