Chennai: MGM Healthcare in Chennai announced that it has successfully conducted a ‘highly specialised complex surgery’ to treat a 16-year-old teenager who reported a complex and progressive deformity of spine – Kyphoscoliosis.
In a statement, it said that the patient was suffering from increasing deformity of the spine for the last 6-7 years, but it became more apparent over the last two years. It caused complications in day-to-day basic movements for the boy which included standing straight, sitting for a long period of time among other noticeable issues.
The patient constantly experienced breathlessness after walking small distances and climbing stairs. He underwent episodes of depression due to this underlying health condition and became low on self-esteem.
During this tough period, problems worsened for the family as unfortunately his father passed away and he was faced with the burden of looking after his mother and other members. The patient was then brought to MGM Healthcare Chennai for a thorough evaluation and further course of treatment.
