Abrol Medical Center, Gurdaspur, is proud to add another significant achievement to its medical record. The hospital has always been known for its high-quality medical treatments and cutting-edge technology. Recently, a complex and high-risk spinal surgery was successfully performed here, bringing new hope not only to the patient but also to the entire region.
Balwinder Kaur, a resident of Gurdaspur, had been struggling with severe health issues for several months. She faced extreme difficulty in walking, standing, and even sitting. Additionally, persistent pain led to insomnia, further deteriorating her quality of life. A thorough medical examination revealed that she was suffering from Pott’s Disease (Tuberculous Spondylitis), a serious condition caused by an infection in the spine.
Given the complexity of her condition, multiple doctors recommended surgery, but the family was apprehensive due to the associated risks. It was at this time that the patient and her family consulted Senior Neurosurgeon Dr. Mukesh Vij at Abrol Medical Center. Dr. Vij has been associated with the hospital for the past 6-7 years and is highly regarded in his field.
With exceptional skill and precision, Dr. Mukesh Vij successfully performed a laminectomy, a complex procedure that relieved pressure from the patient’s spine, leading to remarkable improvement in her condition. Shortly after the surgery, Balwinder Kaur not only managed to sit properly but also began walking without support, a moment of immense joy for her family and the entire medical staff.
The patient’s family expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Mukesh Vij and the entire medical team at Abrol Medical Center. They emphasized that previously, such complex spinal surgeries required patients to travel to larger cities, but now, with the availability of advanced surgical procedures in Gurdaspur itself, local patients will benefit greatly.
