A specialized neurosurgery team at Alkafeel Hospital has successfully performed a complex spinal surgery on an 83-year-old patient from Karbala suffering from a persistent intervertebral infection.
Dr. Firas Attallah explained that the patient had been experiencing chronic back pain for over a year, during which he had received medications and physiotherapy without any improvement. Upon his visit to Alkafeel Hospital, thorough medical examinations and MRI imaging revealed the presence of an infection between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae, which was the source of the severe pain unresponsive to conventional treatment.
Dr. Attallah noted that thanks to the advanced medical capabilities available at Alkafeel Hospital, the team was able to carry out a successful surgical intervention to stabilize the vertebrae and remove the infected tissue. He confirmed that the procedure was successful and that the patient is currently in good health and stable condition.
