Happiness!

This 76 yrs old person was an active man just about a year ago. However life took a downward spiral when slowly he lost strength in his limbs. He became paralyzed and for the last 8 months was bed ridden, unable to move legs or hands. Nothing could be worse than loosing your independence. He had to be fed by someone else. All this because his cervical spinal cord was damaged at its origin from the brain.
He was operated as a last resort, with him willing to die during surgery than to continue with a helpless life.
Few days later he came to us with real joy. He said he could drink water and eat on his own after 8 months. He was regaining his lost strength.
That's happiness!!!!😊

સ્પાઇન ટ્યુબરક્યુલોસિસ (ટીબી)

ટીબી એ આપણા ક્ષેત્રમાં ખૂબ જ સામાન્ય છે અને તે તમામ ઉંમરના લોકોને અસર કરે છે.
ટીબી સામાન્ય રીતે ફેફસાંને અસર કરે છે પરંતુ શરીરના અન્ય ભાગો જેવા કે કરોડરજ્જુ (બેકબોન) નો સમાવેશ કરી શકે છે.

જ્યારે ગંભીર, કરોડરજ્જુનું ટીબી વિનાશક બની શકે છે અને બંને પગને લકવા તરફ દોરી જાય છે, જેનાથી દર્દી કાયમ માટે પથારીવશ થઈ શકે છે.

સારવારમાં લાંબા સમય ચાલતી દવાઓ અને શસ્ત્રક્રિયા શામેલ છે. સમયસર શસ્ત્રક્રિયા લકવાગ્રસ્ત દર્દીને નવું જીવન આપી શકે છે.

નીચે થોડા તાજેતરમાં ઓપરેશન કરેલ ભાગ્યશાળી લકવાગ્રસ્ત દર્દીઓ છે જેઓ ફરીથી તેમના પગ પર પાછા ઉભા થઈ શક્યા.

Spine tuberculosis (TB)

TB is very common in our region and affects people of all ages.
TB usually affects lungs but can involve other parts of the body like spine(backbone).

When severe spine TB can be devastating and can lead to paralysis of both legs, making the patient bed ridden forever.

Treatment includes long duration medicines and surgery. Timely surgery can give a paralyzed patient a new life.

Below are a few recently operated fortunate paralysed patients who got back on their feet again.

Appreciation always motivates to better oneself.. wish to keep giving my best to keep people healthy!

Wish you all a happy Diwali and a prosperous New Year ✨

"The worst headache of my life"

A ruptured brain aneurysm, commonly known as a bubble or balloon formed in the blood vessel, is a common cause of brain hemorrhage.
Patient will typically say he or she suffered the worst headache of the life !
Such hemorrhage may lead to death in as high as 40 percent of the patients. Needless to say it requires urgent treatment .
At B S C we have the expertise and the vast experience needed to treat such patients.

Minimally invasive spine surgery

Undergoing a spine surgery can be worrisome for patients. The post operative period can be painful for some patients.
However with advances in technology spine surgery has become minimally invasive and safer for the patient.
It is now possible to walk around pain free immediately after a keyhole surgery , and go home in less than 24 hours!

and spine surgery by Dr. Bhaumik such surgeries are the standard of care.

Dear friends,
It would be great if you could leave a feedback or a recommendation on this page .
Thank you!

Epilepsy surgery

Epilepsy is a disorder in which brain cells called neurons show abnormal electrical activity, leading to involuntary limb movements/unconsciousness (seizures)

A subset of such patients have the abnormal electrical activity localized to a particular region of brain. A detailed evaluation by an epileptologist help identify such patients. These patients can benefit from surgical intervention.

Each episode of seizure takes it's toll on the brain. Also the medications used can have their ill effects on the brain. Early surgery in selected patients help avoid such effects.

One common condition causing epilepsy is "mesial temporal sclerosis ". Shown below is the abnormally firing portion of the brain that is surgically removed, giving a highly gratifying result.

Trigeminal neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition of severe neuropathic facial pain, severely compromising patients' lifestyle, often driving them to suicidal thoughts.
It is caused by compression of a nerve originating from brain called Vth cranial nerve, most commonly by an artery(blood vessel).
Surgery - Microvascular decompression(MVD), is the gold standard treatment. It involves placing a barrier between the nerve and the bloodvessel, resulting in immediate and lifelong disappearance of pain.
