Alkafeel Hospital Achieves Major Success in Complex Spine Surgery
A specialized spine surgery team at Alkafeel Hospital has successfully performed a highly complex procedure to treat severe spinal deformities, including scoliosis and kyphosis, in a 16-year-old patient from Baghdad.
Dr. Wael Qasim explained that such surgeries are among the most challenging in the medical field due to their technical complexity and the critical outcomes involved. He noted that the procedure for this young patient required opening the back, stabilizing the vertebrae, excising the vertebra responsible for the deformity, and replacing it with an artificial vertebra, in addition to realigning the spinal curvature to restore the natural structure of the spine.
Dr. Qasim added that the operation was lengthy but completed with full success, as the patient was discharged in excellent health and has since resumed normal daily life safely. He emphasized that Alkafeel Hospital remains committed to delivering the highest standards of care through a highly trained medical team and state-of-the-art facilities that ensure optimal outcomes for patients.
