Movement is Life :: Life is Movement 

Mrs. EM 37 yrs old IT professional from USA presented to my private KL Health Centre Clinic with Chronic axial neck pain and severe right upper limb radiculopathy. She was on Methylprednisolone, Pregabalin and opioid Hydromorphine to control her pain. She also underwent a cervical epidural pain procedure in the US recently prior to her travel to India.

Clinically she had unrelenting right upper limb pain, weakness and was unable to move her right arm due to severe pain. She underwent relevant investigations and was diagnosed to  have a significantly large right sided disc prolapse at C5/6. She and her family were counselled about her condition and was offered Cervical Disc  Replacement Surgery to relieve her agony.

Orthopaedic Spine Surgery was performed @ Yashoda Hospital, Somajiguda, Hyderabad .

 C5/6 Cervical Disc Replacement.:-  SECURE- C  ( Globus Medical USA ) 

Post Procedure she had significant reduction in right upper extremity radiculopathy and was mobilising the next day. She was quite pleased with the outcome of Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery. She was fully discharged at 5 weeks post procedure and had regained good range of movements in her cervical spine. 

KL Spine Team is deeply humbled by her kind testimonial and wishes her a healthy future ahead.🙏 

Motion Sparing Technology is an excellent option in the young with its added benefit of retaining segmental motion and preventing adjacent segment degeneration.

Lumbar disc herniation with calcification is characterised by calcification of annulus of the prolapsed lumbar disc .It is a special type of lumbar disc herniation where the nerve root can sometimes be adherent to the calcified annulus thereby increasing the complexity of surgery.

It manifests as  chronic low back pain radiating down the leg, severely limiting normal activity and impairing quality of life.

Mr.SKR presented with the above diagnosis with severe back and leg pain. Following through clinical evaluation, Lumbar Micro Decompression Spine Surgery was performed.

Cervical Disc Replacement

• What is Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery ?
  MISS is an advanced Spine surgical technique performed on appropriately selected patients to deliver optimal results for both patient and the surgeon .
•  What are the key elements of MISS for successful outcome ?
  Target :- Appropriate patient and procedure selection . - Training - Adequately trained Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon ( International & National training) - Technique - Using cutting edge surgical skills. - Technology - MISS specific technology using Surgical loupes and lights. - Testing - Critical patient review of post surgical outcomes .
• How is it different from open Surgery ?
  MISS aims to leave a "smallest possible surgical footprint" while attaining the same or better outcomes than open surgery in appropriately selected patients .However this technique is not applicable to all patients and hence adequate patient selection by a qualified orthopaedic spine surgeon is essential. Mr.Sujeeth underwent MISS and he shares his thoughts after his surgery.
