Manipur boy with severe scoliosis undergoes spine surgery at Fortis Hospital Greater Noida

Greater Noida: A highly challenging spine surgery on a 14-year-old boy from Manipur, India was successfully conducted to correct severe scoliosis at Fortis Hospital Greater Noida.
The complex procedure, which spanned five hours, involved the removal of a hemivertebra—a half-formed vertebra in the spine. This type of surgery is technically demanding as it requires the precise correction of scoliosis while ensuring the protection of the surrounding nerves. Given the high risk of paralysis associated with this surgery, it had been previously turned down by several major hospitals in India.
