“I wish everything in my body felt as good as my new hip from India! It’s like a miracle.” were the words spoken by my mother after we returned to Iraq after her Cervical Spine disc replacement surgery in India. Hi everyone, I am Mohammed Rasool from Iraq who went all the way to India for my mother’s Cervical Spine disc replacement surgery in India. However, this would not have been possible without the help and support of Indian Healthguru Group. My mother was suffering from back pain and disc pain. The pain had gotten so bad that she was completely housebound and miserable for a year. She took pain medication, but the result was zero. I consulted the local doctor, who after a careful examination and MRI, recommended Cervical Spine disc replacement surgery, and I knew the fact that it is a difficult affair to have it in Iraq, thanks to long list of patients to be treated and the lack of availability of good hospitals and surgeons. I remembered some articles I’d seen on medical tourism, and I started looking on the internet. Gradually, on browsing the internet, I came across couple of options to have my mom’s Cervical Spine disc replacement surgery in India. I came across medical tourism company Indian Healthguru, and found their website to be more informative and helpful than any of the others.

I contacted them in May, stating about the Cervical Spine disc replacement surgery my mother needed, sent them her reports, exchange of emails and phone call to finalize the Cervical Spine disc replacement surgery in India  and on June 29, I with my mother were on a plane to India. We were met at the airport and driven to the hospital. The surgery was scheduled a couple of days after our arrival. The standard surgical procedure for a Cervical disc replacement is an anterior (from the front) approach to the cervical spine. This surgical approach is the same as that presently used for a discectomy and fusion operation. The affected disc is completely removed including any impinging disc fragments or osteophytes (bone spurs). The disc space is distracted (jacked up) to its prior normal disc height to help decompress (relieve pressure) on the nerves. This is important because when a disc becomes worn out, it will typically shrink in its height, which can also contribute to the pinching on the nerves in the neck. At this point, using x-rays or fluoroscopy, the artificial disc device is implanted into the prepared disc space. Postoperatively, the patient typically can go home within 24 to 48 hours with minimal activity limitations.

On July 11, my mother was pain free and on a plane home. It was all so simple, and the people at every step of the process were terrific. Indian Healthguru stayed in very close contact with me enquiring about our needs from time to time. . My mother had care from two to three nurses on every shift who were at her beck and call. Everyone at the hospital was very knowledgeable and kind. I would just like to say to anyone considering this type surgery ….DON’T HESITATE! We had major concerns and were very apprehensive about leaving our country for this procedure. Now, I don’t think that. From the moment we arrived we received unrivaled personal loving and tender care unlike anything ever experienced in our own country! The most positive aspect of our trip was the genuine concern for my mother’s well being and recovery shown by everyone involved from my first contact with Indian Healthguru and continuing through the entire process. Please, if you are suffering and are in need of Cervical Spine disc replacement surgery, get in contact with Indian Healthguru Group in India. I guarantee it will be one of the best decisions of your life. Should it become necessary in the future for surgery on my other hip, I will do this again in a heartbeat!

Thank you,
