KIMS doctor studies spine surgery techniques in Germany

Rajamahendravaram: KIMS Hospitals, Rajamahendravaram, Chief Neurosurgeon Dr G Vara Prasad visited St Anna Hospital in Germany to study the latest advancements in endoscopic spine surgery. During his visit, Dr Vara Prasad observed live surgical procedures and exchanged clinical experiences with Prof Dr Sebastian Reutten, Dr Mina Mikchael and their surgical team.

He gained insights into the latest techniques in full-endoscopic spine surgery, an advanced procedure that uses a high-definition camera and a small incision to treat spinal disorders with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

The procedure offers several benefits to patients, including smaller incisions, reduced pain, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery.

Dr Vara Prasad said that bringing world-class spine care closer to patients in the Godavari region will be possible through continuous learning, adoption of advanced surgical techniques and international medical collaboration.
