Apollo Hospitals and Apollo Spine Clinic in Chennai performed a complex robotic‑assisted correction of adolescent scoliosis on a 15‑year‑old South American patient.
The surgery used robotic navigation, neuromonitoring, halo traction, and a staged approach: pedicle screw fixation and anterior D7‑D11 discectomy‑fusion extending to D2‑L4.
Dr. Sajan K. Hegde led the operation, noting robotic assistance and neuromonitoring boost precision, safety, and outcomes in high‑risk deformities.
Apollo CEO Karan Puri said Chennai is emerging as a hub for complex procedures, with advanced technology driving value travel.
