Patient Words

I am truly grateful for the care my father received. After he was diagnosed with a slipped disc, Dr Vivek Deshmukh clearly explained the situation and promptly recommended an emergency spinal laminectomy, which was successfully performed the very next day. His clear guidance gave our family a lot of reassurance and confidence about my father's recovery. We also deeply appreciate the professionalism of the nursing and support staff. We are following the post-operative instructions carefully and remain very hopeful about my father's full recovery.

What is a Slipped Disc?

A slipped disc, also known as a herniated disc, occurs when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc protrudes through its outer layer. This can compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness. Slipped discs most commonly affect the lower back but may also occur in the neck.

Common symptoms include:

Initial treatment usually involves conservative measures such as rest, medication, and physiotherapy. However, in severe cases with nerve compression or sudden neurological symptoms, surgical intervention becomes necessary.

What Treatment did we provide to Narayan Vishwanath Rawadkar at Medicover?

Due to the severity of Narayanto's condition, relieve pressure on the affected spinal nerves immediately, and perform an emergency spinal laminectomy. This procedure was selected to immediately relieve pressure on the affected spinal nerves.

A spinal laminectomy involves removing a portion of the vertebral bone called the lamina to widen the spinal canal and reduce nerve compression caused by the slipped disc.

The treatment process included:

The successful surgery significantly reduced nerve pressure and pain, placing Mr Rawadkar on a clear path toward recovery and improved mobility.
