Hi,

I am Aline Samson from Canada sharing my experience for my mother’s Spinal cord surgery in India. When I came to know that my mom was suffering from back pain and after trying all the medications she was not feeling better I was much worried. The cost of spine surgery is very costly so I decided to look for more affordable option. One of my friends told me about Indian Healthguru Group. Then I searched the internet for information regarding the treatment in India. Then I found about Indian Healthguru Group a healthcare consultancy in India. They assisted me for getting the Spinal cord surgery done in India for my mother. They did provide me all the necessary information regarding back pain and the surgery options. Hence, I decided to travel to India. They fixed an appointment with one of the best spine surgeons of India. After going through many tests doctor told us that my mother needs to have Spinal cord surgery.

The next day my mom was in operation theatre for Spinal cord surgery. Surgery procedure took 2 hours to get completed. The surgery was done while she was totally asleep. An intravenous catheter started and then the anesthesiologist used IV medications to make her comfortable. A catheter was placed in her bladder if the surgery was planned to take a long time. Spinal cord surgery is performed with the patient lying on his or her stomach with a small incision made in low back. The METRxSystem is used to gain access to the spine by separating the fibers of the skin and muscle. A microscope or an endoscope is used to look down the tube and visualize the spine. The bone over the nerve root is exposed and then a portion of this is removed to expose the nerve root. The disc is visualized underneath the nerve root. Part of the disc is removed with special instruments taking any remaining disc pressure off the nerve. The operation is completed when the low back incision is closed in several layers. Dissolving suture material is used and a waterproof dressing is applied so that she could shower.

The anesthesiologist awakened her and was observed in the recovery room. After being operated on for one and a half hours, she was able to sit three hours after the surgery. A miracle! The following day, she walked the hospital corridor and was able to stand with the help of just a stick for support. Post Spinal cord surgery she was shifted to another room for observation and post op care. She was absolutely fine after the surgery and I had a sigh of relief. I must thank Indian Healthguru Group for their overall support that they had given me and my mother during her Spinal cord surgery in India.

My mother was there in the hospital for 3 day after Spinal cord surgery and the doctors kept a constant check on my mother’s health. She was discharged from the hospital and was told to follow after care procedures post Spinal cord surgery. Now I am happy to see my mother leading a healthy lifestyle and doing normal activities. Expert Surgeons who performed my mother’s Spinal cord surgery were experienced in their relative field. Hospital where the surgery performed was the best that I can say. It included all the modern facilities and technology required for Spinal cord surgery and the medical staff is well educated and caring. I would definitely like to recommend Indian Healthguru Group for Spinal cord surgery in India.

Thank You!
