As conservative measures like rest, medication, or physiotherapy fail to relieve symptoms, surgery may be necessary. A modern option that’s gaining traction is robotic-assisted spine surgery, which enhances the surgeon’s precision during procedures. While it doesn’t replace the expertise of a skilled surgeon, it does enable smaller incisions, accurate implant placement, and reduced complication risk, which together promote faster recovery and better outcomes.
Mohammed Salim Al Dowaiki from Oman and Aziza Adadi Rajabu from Tanzania both sought treatment for crippling spinal disorders that had significantly affected their life when they came to Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road in Bengaluru.
For more than two years, Aziza, a 63-year-old mother of five and retired banker, had been dealing with persistent leg and low lower back problems that made even short walks uncomfortable. Mohammed, 37, was an active person whose life abruptly changed when he developed significant leg pain, urinary problems, and muscle weakness as a result of a spinal ailment that was getting worse.
