“The youngster had hemivertebrae in the dorsal spine with scoliotic deformity. So, we decided to correct the abnormality with a surgical procedure, which included complete excision of the deformed bone and fusion of the spine to correct the deformity. The entire procedure was done under intraoperative neural monitoring. Now the patient is pain free and walking after the above procedures,” Dr Krishna Chaitanya said.
