Spine Surgery and Patient Care Approach
Spine problems do not automatically require surgery. Treatment depends on the cause of symptoms, neurological findings, imaging results, duration of pain, and how strongly the condition affects movement or everyday activities.
Dr. Soma Sundar’s clinical approach places emphasis on identifying the source of pain and considering appropriate non-surgical treatment before recommending an operation. Depending on the diagnosis, initial management may involve medication, rehabilitation, activity modification, physiotherapy, or other conservative measures.
When surgery is necessary, his specialist training includes endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques. These approaches use smaller surgical access routes for selected spine conditions, but the appropriate procedure depends on individual anatomy and diagnosis.
