        UPDATE 2018 Dec Dr Krishna Kumar joins Medical Trust Hospital Kochi     Scoliosis is not a rare condition but there is still very little knowledge or understanding about scoliosis and how it affects the lives of patients and their families, which can leave them feeling   isolated and unsure where to turn.              In order to raise the awareness about scoliosis we are observing Scoliosis Awareness Day on  June 25 , Saturday  as part of the International Scoliosis Awareness Day 2016. There would be sessions on scoliosis and interaction with patients and families

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery for Spine Fractures

Spine fractures are traditionally managed by open surgical procedure. Selected spinal fractures due to road traffic accidents, fall, cancer etc may be treated by minimally invasive (keyhole/percutaneous) spine surgeries. The advantages include small surgical incisions, reduced blood loss, minimal bed rest or no bed rest, less hospital stay and early pain relief. Dr Krishnakumar ,consultant spine surgeon at Lakeshore Hospital,Cochin, Kerala,India performs these surgeries on selected patients.
