Successful Spine Cancer Surgery at KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals
Successful Spine Cancer Surgery at KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals
A woman of the age of 55 had been quietly struggling for months. At first, it was just some back pain. But slowly, her legs started to feel weaker. Walking became harder. Then even standing felt like a task. That’s when her family brought her to KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals in Begumpet.
Our doctors ran a few tests. The news was not good. A tumour had formed near her spine and was pressing on her spinal cord. That’s what had been causing all the pain and weakness. It needed surgery, soon. Dr. Himanshu Prasad, a Senior Spine Surgeons at KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals, Begumpet, explained the risks. It had to be done carefully, one small mistake could have made things worse. But the family agreed. The spine cancer surgery took nearly six hours. The team of doctors managed to remove the tumour and fixed her spine using special implants. The team kept a close watch on her afterwards.
To everyone’s relief, she began showing signs of recovery the very next day. Her legs responded. Her pain eased. She is now in rehab and doctors believe she will be able to walk again soon. This is not just another surgery. For the patient and her family, it meant everything. And for our team at KIMS-SUNSHINE Hospitals, Begumpet, it is one more reason to keep doing what we do best, giving people their lives back.
