Dear Tarak ji,

We understand that despite following your doctor's advice — including X-ray, MRI, medications, and IFT (Interferential Therapy) — you're still experiencing severe pain in the upper left leg. Based on this, your doctor has recommended Endoscopic Spine Surgery (ESS), which is a minimally invasive procedure often used for conditions like slipped disc, nerve compression, or sciatica that haven't improved with non-surgical treatment.

What is ESS (Endoscopic Spine Surgery)?

ESS is a minimally invasive procedure where a small camera (endoscope) is inserted through a tiny incision to treat the affected area of the spine. It causes less tissue damage, faster recovery time, and usually leads to less post-operative pain than traditional surgery.

Best hospitals in Kolkata for Endoscopic Spine Surgery

1. NH Rabindranath Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences, Mukundapur

2. Medica Superspecialty Hospital, Mukundapur

3. Manipal Hospital (formerly AMRI Dhakuria), Dhakuria

These hospitals have advanced neurosurgery/orthopaedics departments with experienced spine surgeons skilled in minimally invasive and endoscopic spine procedures.

Next steps you can consider

• Share your MRI report with a spine specialist or neurosurgeon for a second opinion if needed

• Discuss cost, insurance or Ayushman coverage if eligible

Dear Tarak Ji,

Top hospitals in Kolkata for spine surgery:

These hospitals have advanced neurosurgery and orthopaedic spine departments offering minimally invasive and conventional spine procedures.

A few important things to understand about spine surgery:

• Spine surgery is usually advised when non-surgical treatments (like physiotherapy and medications) fail to relieve symptoms such as severe back pain, leg pain, numbness, or mobility issues.

• Common spine issues requiring surgery include: slipped disc (herniated disc), spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or spine fractures.

• Types of spine surgeries include: discectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion, and minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS).

• Your doctor will first evaluate your MRI, X-rays, and physical condition before recommending the right surgical option.

• Recovery and rehabilitation are important parts of the process, and are discussed with you before the surgery.

Hello Vishal,

We're sorry to hear about your accident. We hope you're recovering well.

Firstly, based on your description — fractured ribs and fluid in the lung (possibly pleural effusion) — it's important to consider the following:

🔹 Questions for you:

• Have you been admitted to a hospital, or are you managing this at home?

• Are you experiencing difficulty in breathing, chest pain, or fever?

Based on general guidelines, here's the usual treatment and precautions:

🔹 Immediate Treatment:

• Pain Management: Adequate pain control is essential (usually with analgesics or sometimes nerve blocks) to allow proper breathing and avoid lung infections.

• Monitoring the Lung Fluid:

  • Small amounts of fluid may resolve on their own with observation.

  • Large or worsening fluid collections might need drainage (thoracentesis or chest tube insertion).

• Breathing Exercises: Deep breathing and incentive spirometry are recommended to prevent pneumonia and lung collapse.

🔹 Precautions for Healing:

• Avoid heavy lifting, sudden movements, or straining.

• Rest adequately, but do gentle breathing exercises daily.

• Monitor for signs of complications:

  • Increased chest pain

  • Difficulty in breathing

  • Fever (could indicate infection)

• Attend regular follow-ups and imaging as advised by your doctor.

🔹 General Recovery Plan:

• Rib fractures usually heal in 6–8 weeks.

• The fluid collection must initially be reassessed by imaging every few days.

• Physical therapy may be started once you are stable to maintain lung and chest wall function.

⚕️ Important:
If you feel increased breathlessness, sharp chest pain, a cough with blood, or fever, seek emergency medical attention immediately.

Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery! 🌟
