What is 3V VAJRA Spine Surgery?
3V VAJRA is an advanced minimally invasive spine stabilization system designed to restore spinal height and stability using a high-precision titanium implant. The procedure is performed through a tiny 5mm incision, significantly reducing tissue damage and post-operative discomfort.
This innovative technique enables faster recovery and allows patients to return to their normal routines much sooner than traditional open spine surgery.
Key Benefits of 3V VAJRA Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Minimally Invasive Approach: Tiny 5mm incision with minimal scarring
Local Anesthesia: Enhanced patient comfort and reduced surgical risk
