Advanced Techniques in Spine Surgery
Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti, a renowned neurosurgeon at Apollo Hospitals, Secunderabad, specializes in complex spine surgeries. One of his recent cases involved a 48-year-old patient with severe neck pain and tingling in the hands, diagnosed with atlantoaxial dislocation and os odontoideum. This condition posed a significant risk to the spinal cord, necessitating precise surgical intervention.
C1-C2 Pedicle Screw Fixation
Dr. Kalyan expertly performed C1-C2 pedicle screw fixation, a challenging procedure due to the proximity of the vertebral arteries. Using meticulous pre-operative planning and intraoperative imaging, he placed screws through the narrow pedicles, ensuring the safety of the spinal cord.
