Where spine surgery

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

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! 🌟
