Bangalore, August 26th, 2024: Narayana Health City has established itself as a leader in spine surgery, offering unparalleled expertise and comprehensive treatment options for patients with complex spinal conditions, including tumors, trauma, and severe deformities. With a focus on providing the highest standards of care, the hospital leverages its team of expert surgeons backed by cutting-edge neuro-navigation, advanced robotics technology and imaging to deliver exceptional clinical outcomes.

The hospital’s success stories exemplify its clinical excellence. One such case is Harshitha, a 13-year-old girl, who had previously undergone heart surgery and later developed a severe spinal deformity. The advanced surgical techniques supported by the image guided technology enabled the surgical team to achieve precise screw placement and accurate correction of her deformity. Prof. Arun Ranganathan, a renowned spine surgeon at Narayana Health City, noted, “The use of advanced image guidance technology and the neuronavigation with robotic assistance allows us to achieve unprecedented accuracy in spinal procedures, particularly in severe cases. The reduced tissue dissection and improved wound healing lead to faster recovery times for our patients.”

Couple of notable cases are that of 18-year-old Harshith Singh, who suffered from a progressive spinal deformity as his height increased. Image guided technologies facilitated meticulous surgical planning and correction of his spine, resulting in minimal tissue disruption and improved recovery. The other case is that of Soujanya who is 11 years old. She had a bent spine with difficulty in walking. Post-surgery she is doing fine and is getting back to normal life. Prof. Ranganathan explained, “The precision offered by robotic systems combined with international expertise has enabled us to operate upon cases which were previously considered inoperable.”

Spine issues, including infections and deformities, are increasingly prevalent in India. Narayana Health City’s commitment to excellence, combined with its use of advanced technology, provides patients with safer, more effective solutions. Dr. Komal Prasad, Neuro-Spinal Surgeon at Narayana Health City, emphasized, “Robotic spine surgery offers a new dimension in treatment, enabling us to tackle complex cases with greater confidence and success. This technology minimizes risks and enhances recovery, providing our patients with the best possible care.”
