"Immediately after my finishing spine surgery, when I woke up, I found all my pain was completely gone. It was a miracle because I didn't believe the way I was feeling no pain." - These were the exact words of one of our patients from Tanzania who we assisted recently.
Only this immense, shocking reaction would be abrupt when someone has been in pain for a long time and now is relieved.
This case of Mr. Elisabaot is unique because when he was experiencing pain, he noticed that the pain was not only limited to the spine but was also radiating to his right leg.
As the WHO (World Health Organisation) has stated, lower back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide. So, when the patient dropped a query on our website, we took his case without wasting any time.
He found out about us (Vaidam Health) through online research for the best medical tourism company in India, as he wanted to get treated in India.
When one of our case managers contacted him, they had a thorough discussion with the patient. After learning about all the issues the patient was experiencing, the case manager suggested consulting the top spine surgeons in India.
All of the necessary things were prepared for him, such as a Medical Visa, Doctor and Hospital Appointments, Accommodation, etc.
The patient came to India with his wife and consulted Dr. Puneet Girdhar, a reputed Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon with more than 26 years of experience. The doctor carefully assessed his condition and suggested that he undergo a TLIF (transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion) as soon as possible.
Mr. Elisabaot agreed to the procedure and proceeded with it the next day. The surgery, which took around two hours and was performed under general anaesthesia, was carried out entirely robotically at BLK Max Hospital, New Delhi. The blood loss was minimal.
When the patient woke up, he felt his pain starting to fade away, as if it were not even there in the first place.
He expressed his enormous gratitude to the doctor, saying, "Dr. Puneet and his team were perfect for this job."
The patient and his wife spent around 15 days in India and then delightedly returned to their home country.
All of our wishes are with Mr. Elisabaot, and we hope he makes a quick recovery!
