News Desk, News Nation 360 : By successfully treating a 47-year-old male patient with recurrent neck discomfort who works as a farmer using a non-invasive technique known as a cervical selective nerve block, Narayana Hospital, RN Tagore Hospital, Mukundapur, recently achieved another clinical milestone. After receiving a recommendation for cervical spine surgery elsewhere, the patient, who had been experiencing crippling neck discomfort and numbness in the left hand for six months, came to the hospital for a second opinion. Advanced techniques that do not involve surgical incisions, and non-invasive medical procedures such as cervical selective nerve block, ensure benefits like low risks, less pain, and quicker recovery compared to the traditional surgical procedures. For instance, one patient underwent all the necessary diagnostic evaluations: MRI and X-rays that indicated a moderate condition that does not necessitate surgery. However, the patient was deemed to not have experienced great relief from the medication, therefore, the medical team requested a cervical selective nerve block. This was one such advanced, minimally invasive treatment that was offered outside of surgery, utilizing the advantages of non-invasive procedures to treat her condition. Dr Sai Viksheth Raj Basani, Spine Surgery Consultant, Narayana Hospital (RN Tagore Hospital), Mukundapur, and his team performed the quick 30-minute treatment. Although the procedure seems straightforward, it is very difficult and is usually only available to a small number of spine specialists. Dr Basani's extensively published work and Narayana Hospital's proficiency in this field have established a standard for spine surgery teaching and treatment. Sharing his insights on the case, Dr Sai Viksheth Raj Basani stated that patients with cervical spondylosis frequently face particular difficulties, particularly if they are not good candidates for surgery or are resistant to medicine. This instance demonstrates the effectiveness of cervical selective nerve block as a less intrusive substitute. Their goal at Narayana Hospital is to provide cutting-edge, patient-centred care that promotes a speedy recovery with the least amount of discomfort.
