JAMMU, Dec 28: In a remarkable display of medical expertise, Dr Rohit Lahori, a renowned pain specialist of Jammu & Kashmir and National Treasurer of the Indian Society for Study of Pain, has successfully performed Vertebroplasty procedures on two elderly patients suffering from spinal fractures at Pulse Hospital, Jammu.
The patients, who were diagnosed with Lumber 2 and 3 vertebral fractures, had been experiencing severe pain and limited mobility due to their condition. However, after the procedure they regained their mobility and quality of life.
Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure where bone cement is injected into the fractured segment of the vertebrae under local anesthesia. This procedure is known for its effectiveness in providing immediate pain relief, stabilizing the fractured vertebrae and enabling patients to walk and move around within 24 hours.
Dr Lahori said this procedure is the game changer for spinal fracture patients, more so ever this procedure is done under local anaesthesia, making more convenient for patients who may not be fit to undergo major surgery under general anaesthesia.
These advance procedures in pain medicine, he said, are the testament to the advancements in pain management and spinal care in J&K. He said Vertebroplasty is a breakthrough treatment option for patients with spinal fractures, offering them a chance to regain their independence and improve their quality of life.
