Dr. Khaled Al-Sarraj, a neurosurgery specialist at Alkafeel Specialized Hospital, highlighted the hospital’s exceptional capabilities in performing scoliosis correction surgeries, a rare feat outside specialized centers.
He shared:
"A 60-year-old patient from Najaf presented with severe spinal curvature (scoliosis), which had led to multiple herniated discs and spinal cord compression. This condition caused severe lower limb pain, weakness, and loss of bladder and bowel control."
Dr. Al-Sarraj detailed the procedure:
"The surgery involved correcting the curvature by 90-100%, stabilizing the spine, decompressing the spinal cord, removing herniations, and implanting artificial discs. Thanks to the hospital's advanced techniques and multidisciplinary expertise, the operation was a success, and the patient experienced significant improvement in her quality of life."
