Sri Lankan girl with scoliosis undergoes surgery at Chennai hospital

A 12-year-old girl with an s-shaped spine due to scoliosis was treated at Rela Hospital.

In a six-hour surgery, a team led by Parthasarathy Srinivasan, senior consultant-orthopaedics, head of Spine Surgery, corrected the spine and she is now able to walk with a straight spine.

Sanvi’s (name changed) parents were not sure of the treatment options available in their country. So they did not seek treatment until a family friend recommended them to Rela Hospital.
