Summary
- Congenital scoliosis corrected with complex spine surgery.
- Surgery successfully removed malformed vertebrae at D12 and L2.
- Real-time neuromonitoring ensured spinal cord safety during procedure.
A complex corrective spine surgery has enabled a young student in Bengaluru to recover from congenital scoliosis. The condition, identified as hemivertebrae at the D12 and L2 levels, caused a significant spinal curvature.
Doctors advised immediate intervention as the child was entering a crucial growth spurt phase. The surgical team meticulously planned and executed the removal of the malformed vertebrae.
Utilizing advanced tools like an operating microscope and the Midas Rex drill, the team carefully restored the spine's natural balance. Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) played a vital role in real-time safety.
This advanced technique continuously monitored spinal cord function, preventing potential neurological damage and confirming the procedure's safety. The surgery lasted over four hours with no adverse effects.
Post-surgery, the child experienced a full recovery, with the spinal deformity completely corrected. She was discharged within three days and is now back home, enjoying improved physical health and confidence.
