At Aster Medcity Kochi, age is never a barrier to receiving the best possible treatment. Mrs. Radha Thankappan, 80 years old, successfully underwent minimally invasive keyhole spine surgery for severe disc degeneration and bone degeneration. Spine surgery in elderly patients is often considered high-risk due to age-related complexities, but with the expertise of the Neurospine Surgery team led by Dr. Anup P. Nair, Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon, the procedure was performed safely with precision and care.
Thanks to Aster’s advanced technologies and patient-centered approach, Mrs. Radha experienced a smooth recovery with minimal pain and faster rehabilitation. This achievement demonstrates how minimally invasive spine surgery in Kochi can be safely performed even in elderly patients, offering them improved mobility, pain relief, and a better quality of life.
The case also reflects Aster Medcity’s commitment to delivering world-class spine care in Kerala, combining cutting-edge surgical techniques, advanced imaging, and multidisciplinary expertise to ensure the highest standards of safety and outcomes for patients of all ages.
