 Hi, my name is Leesha and I'm from Maldives. Before coming to the hospital, I was having pain in my arms. I was having problems with my C6 to C7 days. And one of my friends recommended money for the hospital. So I checked some reviews and I did some research on the internet and I found that Dr. Vidyadhar was one of the best surgeons here in Bangalore. So I chose Dr. Vidyadhar to operate on me since I have to do an operation because my hand was numb and I was having weakness in my arms and I had to do an operation as soon as possible. They contacted us from Maldives saying that their hand is weak and the surgeon there was asking them to go for a fusion surgery. However, being very young, almost 31 years, nobody would want to have a fused spine. They contacted us by phone because one of their relatives had undergone a scoliosis surgery with us in the past and we advised them that it is preferable for them to go for an artificial disc replacement instead of a fusion surgery. Before I came to Bangalore, I was told to send all my documents, MRI and everything. So Dr. Vidyadhar had everything set up on arrival. So immediately they started from there and in four or five days they reached us with due facilitation provided by our international patient care department and the day they reached here was a Friday evening. We saw, we did all the tests on outpatient basis within the next two hours, admitted them. The next day morning we explained to them that the procedure, exact details and upon consent we did the surgery of disc replacement at C6, C7 using prestige LP disc. Patient underwent the surgery successfully. After the surgery, I had more mobility in my spine which I didn't had before. I was walking just one hour after the surgery and I felt really fine and immediately after the operation my numbness and the pain was gone but numbness was still there and we started doing physiotherapy and stimulation to the muscles right after the surgery for the upcoming two weeks. Since I am an international patient, I was contacted by an international staff, international loan staff from Manipal Hospital and they treated me very well from the airport till I went back to Maldives. I was treated with respect and with care. The staffs were very friendly and I was immediately comfortable with the staffs and we had a great time here. I think she is very happy and I would recommend that if there are patients who are young with acute cervical disc prolapse, with weakness of upper limbs or urinary or motion incontinence or inability to pass, they should take up surgery of removal of the disc, what we call as micro disc rectomy and replacing the empty space by an artificial disc instead of the traditional ACDF surgery or the fusion surgery. It's been two weeks since my surgery and now as doctors said it earlier, the weakness and pain and everything is gone. This is a recent advance and this has to be looked at as a gold standard instead of the age old motion sacrificing surgery of ACDF.
