Mrs Rambha Dabeesing, a 69-year-old patient from the scenic island nation of Mauritius, travelled to India in search of advanced and reliable spine care. She presented with persistent axial neck pain that was significantly affecting her daily activities and quality of life. Seeking expert consultation, she visited Artemis Hospital, a leading destination for international patients seeking specialised orthopaedic and spine treatments.
Upon detailed clinical evaluation and imaging, Dr. Hitesh Garg, Head of Orthopaedic Spine Surgery, diagnosed her with cervical degenerative disc disease at C4–C7 levels, a condition commonly associated with age-related wear and tear leading to chronic neck pain and nerve compression.
Considering the severity of her symptoms and radiological findings, she was advised to undergo Anterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion (ACDF) surgery at C4–C7—a highly effective procedure for relieving pressure on spinal nerves and stabilising the cervical spine. The surgery was performed successfully with precision, ensuring optimal decompression and alignment.
Post-surgery, Mrs. Dabeesing experienced significant relief from her neck pain and demonstrated steady recovery during her hospital stay. With comprehensive post-operative care, physiotherapy guidance, and continuous monitoring, she regained mobility and confidence within a short span.
After a week-long recovery period in India, she was declared fit to travel and returned to Mauritius with improved health, reduced pain, and a renewed sense of well-being. Her journey highlights the excellence of spine surgery in India and reinforces Artemis Hospital as a trusted hub for spine treatment.
