Mamatha Hospital Successfully Excises Rare Spinal Tumor
Imagine someone had a tiny, troublesome growth inside their spinal cord, which is like the main cable for your body to move.
This growth was pressing on the cable, making it so they couldn't walk.
Doctors at Mamatha Hospital in Hyderabad performed a super careful surgery to take out this growth.
They used special tools and techniques to be very precise, like a surgeon with a tiny brush.
Because they were so careful, they were able to remove the growth without damaging the main cable.
Now, the person is getting better and can walk again!
This shows the hospital is good at these really tricky surgeries.
Mamatha Hospital in Hyderabad successfully removed a rare spinal intramedullary tumor.
The complex surgery was led by neurosurgeons Dr. Swapnil Kolpakwar and Dr. M. Rithvic Nimmakayala.
The patient had been bedridden due to severe spinal cord compression caused by the tumor.
Advanced microsurgical and neuro-navigation techniques were used to ensure complete tumor excision while preserving spinal cord function.
The patient, previously unable to stand, was able to walk within days of the successful operation.
