Manipal Hospital Mukundapur's Advanced Spine Surgery Restores Mobility

News Desk, News Nation 360: An expert surgical panel comprising Drs. Anindya Basu (Clinical Lead & Senior Consultant – Spine Surgery), Pratyush Shahi (Associate Consultant), and Sourabh Ghosh (Specialist Surgeon) stood alongside ten successfully recovered patients at Manipal Hospital Mukundapur's specialised clinical seminar titled “Precision at the Core” to demonstrate how contemporary surgical innovations are subtly revolutionising complex spinal care. The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports that 619 million individuals worldwide suffered from low back pain in 2020; this number is expected to rise to 840 million by 2050 as a result of ageing populations, bad posture, and sedentary lifestyles. The hospital's specialised department uses cutting-edge O-Arm® 3D Imaging and Navigation Technology to address these increasing challenges. This technology provides real-time three-dimensional intraoperative imaging that guarantees unprecedented accuracy during complex spinal reconstructions, deformity corrections, and trauma cases. Additionally, the team has the most experience in the area with Endoscopic Spine Surgery, a state-of-the-art, ultra-minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny incisions to treat spinal stenosis and slipped discs, resulting in minimal tissue disruption, decreased post-operative pain, and significantly faster patient recovery times. Emotional, first-hand patient testimonies brought these clinical milestones' profound human impact to life. Ashok Kumar Karmakar, 67, of Narendrapur, described how a May 5 operation for an L3–L4 disc dislocation went so smoothly and painlessly that he woke up not knowing the procedure had even been completed, and he has since joyfully regained his mobility. Tapan Kumar De, a 65-year-old retired Government of Meghalaya employee from Haltu, explained that severe nerve pain had stolen his sleep and independence until his May 5 surgery, which remarkably had him walking the very same evening and returning safely to his normal travel routine. Pratik Chatterjee, 30, of Haripal, Hooghly, shared how targeted care for a crippling L2–L4 disc bulge is giving him the strength to soon lift his young daughter again. The institution continues to solidify its position as a major referral hub throughout Eastern India and neighbouring countries by integrating a multidisciplinary network of surgeons, neurologists, pain specialists, and physiotherapists. This demonstrates that the ultimate goal of advanced technological precision is to restore human dignity, mobility, and hope.
