Intrathecal Baclofen Pump is inserted by an experienced spine surgeon in Hyderabad and Secunderabad, India to treat severe spasticity. The pump can be filled with Baclofen (Spasticity) or Morphine (Pain). Indications of Baclofen Pump are:

Brachial Plexus Injuries are caused by excessive stretching, tearing, or trauma to a network of nerves from the spinal cord to the shoulder, arm, and hand. Injuries often occur secondary to motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries or surgeries. Traumatic BPI causes either complete or incomplete damage to the brachial plexus resulting in loss of function and sensation related to level of damage. The recovery from the injury will depend on the severity, level and type of nerve damage. Pain is a very important side effect of the injury and can sometime be very severe and debilitating.

Nerves are cord like structures of tissue formed from a collection of nerve fibers. A single nerve may contain thousands of fibers (a bit like an electrical cable). In the arm, these fibers carry electrical messages both ways between the brain, muscles and tissues. For a muscle to work (contract), a message must travel from the brain, along a nerve that goes directly to the muscle. When nerve fibers are injured, the muscles that the nerve controls may be weakened, even though the injury is not in the muscle itself.The nervous system integrates all body activities by sensing changes (sensory function), interpreting those (integrative function) and reacting to them (motor function). Sensory neurons carry sensory information into the brain and spinal cord. Motor neurons carry information from the brain and spinal cord into the peripheral nerves. A neuron (or nerve cell) processes and transmits information by electrical or chemical signalling.

Dr. Sujit Kumar Vidiyala who is internationally trained has extensive experience in minimally invasive spinal techniques and performs complex minimally invasive spine procedures. We have state-of-the-art equipment and navigation designed for these procedures at KIMS hospital.

Minimally invasive surgery is available for a number of spinal disorders, ranging from degenerative diseases to spinal tumors. Dr. Sujit Kumar Vidiyala is one of the best minimally invasive spine surgeons in Hyderabad & Secunderabad with 21+ surgical experience.

The Advantages Are

• Reducing surgical risk
• Less pain post surgery
• Minimal blood loss
• Reduced risk of infection
• Early recovery
• Reduced hospital stay
• Early return to work
• Small scar

Older patients and those with osteoporosis have a high risk of spinal fractures, particularly vertebral compression fractures. The main reason being low bone mass and strength, as well as an increased risk of falling. In these patients, vertebral compression fractures can occur during simple activities of daily living, such as coughing, sitting down quickly, or taking a step wrong.

As with many osteoporotic fractures, compression fractures are more common in women than men; however, the consequences are severe in both. Patients may experience acute and chronic pain, kyphotic deformity (increased forward curve of the spine), decreased quality of life, increased anxiety, depression, and death. Our geriatric doctors and nurses are involved in their care.

Instability in the atlantooccipital joint results in hyper-mobility of the junction between the head and the neck which can cause severe pain or paralysis. It may result from rheumatoid arthritis or congenital defects that can accelerate degenerative arthropathy, resulting in spinal cord compression. At KIMS Hospital, we use the latest developments in imaging, computer-assisted surgery, and instrumentation to provide safe surgery.

The cervical spine is the most flexible anatomic region in the axial skeleton. Distinct segments of the cervical spine give us the ability to perform complex neck motions like head turning, tilting or bending this leads to increase in wear and tear of disc.

The most common degenerative disorders of the cervical spine affect the C3-C7 segments. Symptoms of disc herniation, joint degeneration, and stenosis include neck pain, arm pain and sensory disturbance, weakness, spasticity and difficulty in walking or using hands.

At KIMS Hospital, minimally invasive approaches can be performed from the back of neck for decompression of nerve roots. Our surgical team also has expertise in motion-sparing operations such as cervical disc replacement and cervical laminoplasty that obviate the need for a cervical spinal fusion.
