Bokaro: A team of doctors at the Bokaro General Hospital (BGH) conducted a minimum invasive operation called the Kyphoplasty balloon for the first time in a 65-year-old woman who had broken her backbone.
The doctor said the spinal compression fracture was at several levels in the vertebrae.
Surgery, which was carried out with fluoroscopic imaging guidance, increased a compressed vertebra with the help of balloons and bone cement to bring it to a normal form.
Surgery was carried out two days ago and patients will be released in a few days, officials said on Saturday.
Bokar Bokaro spokesman Manikant Dhan said Tirthi Devi patients recovered well.
Tirthi is a resident of Mango Village under the Chas block.
“The Kyphoplasty balloon is a minimum invasive treatment for spinal compression fractures.
Kyphoplasty surgery using a small balloon that gently lifts the bone fragments to their true position,” said Dr.
Anand Kumar, the head of the department of the defector BGH.
Tirthi’s son Ashwini Kumar said, “My mother suffered a spinal injury after he slipped in the bathroom last week.
He suffered severe back pain, difficulty walking and standing.
He needed constant support.
He took medicine but did not relect.” When Tirthi was taken to BGH, a doctor from the Department of Neurosurgage diagnosed with velantbra osteoporosis compression fracture.
Dr.
Anand, who carried out the operation, said the patient had an old injury which caused similar compression fractures at other vertebral levels.
Dr.
Anand consulted with the Director of BGH Dr.
Pankaj Sharma and decided to do the Khyphoplasty balloon.
Tirthi’s husband Dhaneshwar Mallah, a retired BSL employee, gave his approval of the procedure.
Dr.
Anand together with his team, including Dr.
Mohit Kumar, Dr.
Pradeep Kumar, Dr.
Gautam Saha (Head of Anesthesi Department), Dr.
Ajay and Dr.
Rajmohan, carried out operations that lasted two and a half hours.
Dr.
Anand said the operation gave good results and gradually found help in India.
“But it’s still rarely done in East India,” he said.
Dr.
Anand added, “In this operation we make a path to a broken vertebra using a hollow instrument.
A small balloon is then guided through the instrument to the bone.
After in a position, the balloon slowly increases to increase the bone that collapses into its normal position.
When the bone Being in the right position, we deflate and remove the balloon.
To prevent the bone from collapse, the emptiness is filled with orthopedic cement.
After being arranged, cement forms a cast in a vertebral body that stabilizes the bone.
