New limb weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin, or severe pain after injury.
Call now →Dr Ghanshyam Kakadiya is a consultant spine surgeon and founder of Ashirwad Spine Hospital in Surat. Following postgraduate training in orthopaedics, he pursued advanced spine qualifications through national and international pathways, including FISS, FACS, the SICOT Diploma and the EuroSpine Diploma in Spine Surgery.
His clinical practice spans endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgery, lumbar and cervical decompression, instrumented fusion, spinal trauma, infection, tumour-related instability, deformity correction, osteoporotic fractures and technically demanding revision surgery.
Every consultation begins with the same question: what is the least invasive, evidence-led treatment that can safely help this patient? Surgery is advised only when it is appropriate.
Areas of expertise
From focused nerve decompression to complex reconstruction, each plan is tailored to symptoms, neurological findings, imaging and personal goals.
Targeted, small-incision decompression for selected disc prolapse, sciatica and lumbar canal stenosis.
Discectomy · Decompression · Biportal endoscopyMuscle-sparing stabilisation for painful instability, spondylolisthesis and selected recurrent conditions.
MIS TLIF · Percutaneous fixation · NavigationTreatment for cervical disc disease, myelopathy, trauma, deformity and spinal cord compression.
ACDF · Corpectomy · DecompressionMicrosurgical or minimally invasive relief of pressure on spinal nerves and the spinal cord.
Laminectomy · Foraminotomy · DiscectomyStabilisation of traumatic and osteoporotic vertebral fractures, including non-union and neurological deficit.
Vertebroplasty · Kyphoplasty · Cement augmentationDetailed reconstruction planning for scoliosis, imbalance, implant failure and failed previous surgery.
Realignment · Re-fixation · Complex fusionMultidisciplinary care for spinal tuberculosis and pyogenic infection when decompression or stabilisation is required.
Biopsy · Debridement · StabilisationAssessment and stabilisation for tumour-related compression, pathological fracture and mechanical instability.
Biopsy · Decompression · ReconstructionImage-guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for carefully selected spinal pain conditions.
Nerve root block · Facet block · InjectionWhen to consult
A scan alone does not decide treatment. Diagnosis comes from matching symptoms and examination with the right imaging.
A calmer path to recovery
Your symptoms, function and goals guide the consultation.
Clinical findings and imaging are explained clearly—without rushing to surgery.
Medicines, therapy, injections or surgery are considered according to need.
Structured follow-up focuses on safe movement and durable recovery.
Ashirwad Spine Hospital
Modern operating infrastructure supports endoscopy, minimally invasive techniques, microscopy, navigation and intraoperative neuromonitoring where indicated.
“The goal is not simply to treat a scan. It is to help the person return safely to the life they value.”
— Dr Ghanshyam Kakadiya
For patients across Gujarat and India
Patients and referring doctors can seek a structured opinion for complex, recurrent or previously operated spine problems. Existing MRI/CT images, reports and operative records are reviewed alongside the clinical examination.
The right operation, not simply an operation
Surgery is considered when symptoms, examination and imaging identify a treatable problem and non-operative care is no longer appropriate.
Endoscopic, minimally invasive or open surgery is selected according to safety, anatomy and the objective of treatment.
Microscopy, navigation and intraoperative neuromonitoring may be used when they add meaningful precision or safety.
Pain control, early mobilisation, wound care, rehabilitation and return-to-work guidance are planned around the individual.
Common questions
No. Many patients improve with medicines, activity modification and physiotherapy. Surgery may be considered for progressive weakness, emergency symptoms or persistent disabling pain despite appropriate treatment.
It uses smaller corridors and specialised instruments to limit soft-tissue disruption. Suitability depends on the diagnosis, anatomy and goals—not every condition requires or benefits from the same technique.
Seek urgent medical attention for new weakness, bladder or bowel changes, numbness around the groin, fever with severe back pain, or pain after significant trauma.
Bring recent MRI, CT or X-ray images and reports, prior operation records, a medicine list and relevant medical reports. Images on CD, film or a working online link are useful.
Yes. Bring the complete imaging set, previous operative notes, implant information, discharge summaries and current neurological findings. A fresh examination may still be necessary before a safe recommendation can be made.
No single technique is best for every patient. Endoscopy can be valuable for selected problems, while instability, deformity, extensive compression or revision anatomy may require a different approach.
Mobilisation depends on the diagnosis and procedure. Many patients begin assisted walking early, but the surgical and physiotherapy teams provide an individual plan.
Yes. The hospital can help coordinate consultation timing and advise which scans and previous records to bring. Final treatment recommendations require appropriate clinical assessment.
