7 years old girl reported with complaints of deformity of back and back pain and difficulty in walking since 2 years.
Dr. Sanjay Patil, Spine Surgeon thoroughly examined & investigated her and X-ray and MRI Spine. X-ray Dorsolumbar Spine shows T12 Hemivertebrae with scoliosis. She required emergency surgery to prevent further progression of spinal deformity, reduce pain and prevention of neurological deficits like loss of power in limbs and loss of bowel bladder sensation.
Dr Sanjay Patil, Spine Surgeon performed spinal cord monitoring using latest special gadget and did T12 Hemivertebrae excision with Spinal fusion from T11-L2.
Patient’s spinal deformity corrected completely and mobilized postoperatively on 3rd day
As it is challenging surgery Titanium implants were used and these spinal implants remain in the body permanently but usually do no harm said Dr.Sanjay Patil. The parents of the girl are extremely happy with the outcome of the surgery.
