Successful recovery after undergoing Lumbar interbody fusion Over 8 years Mr.Richard Kapita , Minister from Govt of Zambia, Africa experienced continually worsening back pain that ultimately stopped him from travel and work. He had to undergo a Lumbar interbody fusion spine surgery for complete recovery at Yashoda Hospital under spine surgeon Dr.Kiran Kumar LingutlaTrue to my doctor's words though, I was surprised by the quick recovery and mobilization on the second day after surgery. Richard Kapita says "you are a magician and not a doctor". I am thankful for having another shot at life without being paralyzed.

2nd Revision Spine Surgery for Infected Failed Back Surgery . Mr. Andrew Sakala, retired Airforce pilot from Zambia who had 2 previous unsuccessful spine surgeries overseas presented with infected failed back surgery syndrome. He was incapacitated with pain, loss of function and inability to walk. He underwent 2- stage, 360 degrees back and front revision spine surgery at Yashoda Hospital, Somajiguda. First stage involved removal of previous infected implants, thorough debridement, decompression and extended fusion with cemented reimplantation of screws. Second stage involved anterior retroperitoneal lumbar decompression and tricortical iliac crest (autograft) anterior strut fusion to achieve anterior stability. He had 6 weeks of intravenous antibiotics following surgery. He made a remarkable recovery and was able to walk independently and is pain free. Very good team effort and result at Yashoda Hospital Somajiguda, Hyderabad.
