Spinal Fusion Surgery
Overview
A procedure that joins two or more vertebrae to stabilise the spine and relieve pain. Our partner hospitals deliver spinal fusion surgery using internationally recognised protocols, latest-generation equipment, and surgeons with extensive experience — many internationally trained. Elective neurosurgery in Australia has public-system waits of 90–365 days. Self-funded craniotomy averages AUD 35,000–55,000. Through Earth Abroad's partner network in India, the same spinal fusion surgery is available from $22,000 — at a fraction of Australian self-funded cost — in JCI-accredited facilities with care quality matching or exceeding Australian standards.
