A spinal emergency treated at the right time changed his outcome.
Mr. Mohammed Salem, 37, from Oman, had been dealing with chronic back, buttock and leg pain along with increasing difficulty performing daily tasks. When he started experiencing problems with passing urine and motion, his condition suggested Cauda Equina Syndrome, a condition requiring urgent treatment.
At Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, he was treated by Dr. S. Vidyadhara, Chairman & HOD – Spine Surgery and Consultant – Robotic Spine Surgery. He was diagnosed with
severe lumbar spinal stenosis and underwent robotic circumferential decompression and fusion surgery.
He recovered fully and returned to normal activity within a few weeks following surgery. Timely diagnosis and advanced spine care helped restore function and prevent permanent disability.
