The Centre of Excellence for Spine at KIMS SUNSHINE Hospital is a dedicated medical and surgical department for the entire spectrum of disorders related to the vertebral column & spinal cord. The Spine Centre takes care of all spine and spinal cord-related problems – both surgical and non-surgical.
We give the best results to our patients by employing the most sophisticated technology and clinical expertise. The complete range of spine care we provide to our patients is in accordance with international quality standards.
Our experts work as a collaborative and multidisciplinary team that comprises spine surgeons, physiotherapists, trained nurses and supportive staff to deliver customised treatment and therapy for each patient according to their unique preferences – ranging from diagnostic, therapeutic and lifestyle-related goals. The main aim of the treatment is to reduce pain and improve mobility and functionality – thereby improving patients’ health and quality of life.
Spine, Spinal Fracture, and Injury
The spine is what we generally call the backbone. However, the backbone also consists of the spinal cord, a nerve-filled structure that is protected by the spine. The spine is composed of many bones, called the vertebrae. The vertebrae are cushioned ‘discs’ which reduce the impact of any external force on the spine. The spine has four segments: the cervical vertebrae, the thoracic vertebrae, the lumbar vertebrae, and the sacral vertebrae.
Spinal fracture.
Traumatic forces or bone weakness due to a tumour or infection can cause spinal fractures in the vertebrae. In some cases, fractures can result from injury to the structures adjacent to the spinal cord, i.e., the nerve roots, or the cauda equina (the grouping of nerve roots at the end of the spinal cord). Such injuries may produce profound neurological deficits. Fractures are diagnosed using a combination of plain films, CT, and MRI (if an underlying spinal cord injury exists).
Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) refers to an acute, traumatic injury to the spinal cord and the associated neurological deficits after that. Typically, SCI is an after effect of trauma and spinal fractures. Arteriovenous malformations or thoracic aortic surgery can also cause spinal cord infarction and injury in rare cases. Also, a spinal cord injury can strike at any age due to trauma, a tumour, or an infection. Symptoms of SCI vary depending on the level at which the cord is injured. For instance, loss of motor and sensory function in the arms and legs is witnessed when the cervical spinal cord is injured. Motor and sensory dysfunction in the legs (paraparesis or paraplegia) can be seen when the thoracic or lumbar levels are injured.
The Spine Department at KIMS SUNSHINE Hospital takes care of all spine and spinal cord-related problems – both surgical and non-surgical including:
- Infection
- Herniated Disc
- Deformities
- Revision Surgery
- Fracture
- Tumour
- Degenerative Spine
- Cervical Spine Problem
The department of spine surgery has fellowship-trained, dedicated spine surgeons who are involved in patient care, including evaluation, surgery, and post-operative management. The team believes in the Seattle ‘Team’ Approach, which ensures patient safety and reduces complications drastically.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Traditional open spine surgery is an extremely complicated and, to some extent, riskier procedure. It also takes more time to recover. Naturally, it’s more painful and requires more medicine and medical support.
As a solution to that, at KIMS SUNSHINE Hospital, you can opt for a Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS), also known as keyhole or pinhole surgery. For these surgeries, the surgeons make a few small holes and perform the surgery via those holes. The latest Minimal Access Spinal Technologies (MAST) assist doctors to perform flawless surgery. Minimally invasive surgery is a popular choice among patients who prefer spine surgery.
