Patna: Dr. Megha Kumari, a distinguished gynecologist hailing from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, recently emerged victorious over debilitating back pain that had plagued her for several years. Undergoing a groundbreaking spine surgery at Narayana Health RN Tagore Hospital in Mukundapur, Dr. Megha’s inspiring journey is a testament to the remarkable advancements in spine surgery and the commitment of the medical fraternity towards patient-centric care.
Suffering from spondylolisthesis in her lumbar spine, a condition where one segment of the spine slips over another, Dr. Megha’s ability to stand, walk, and perform surgeries was severely impacted. The condition led her to take a hiatus from her clinical work as a gynecologist, a decision prompted by the escalating struggles she faced.
The turning point in Dr. Megha’s life came when she sought the expertise of Dr. Amitabha Chanda, the Senior Consultant in Neurosurgery (Brain & Spine) at Narayana Health RN Tagore Hospital. Recognizing the complexity of her case, Dr. Chanda devised a surgical plan that aimed to alleviate the pressure on her nerves and stabilize the unstable spine. The procedure involved the use of titanium pedicle screws, rods, and a bone graft-filled cage, successfully restoring the slipped segment of the spine and ensuring long-term stability.
Reflecting on Dr. Megha’s case, Dr. Amitabha Chanda stated, “Her case was a complex one, given her need for both nerve decompression and spinal stabilization. It’s a testament to her resilience and deep commitment to her profession that she actively pursued this solution. The surgery was a resounding success, and today, she stands pain-free and fully on her feet.”
Post-surgery, Dr. Megha experienced a swift recovery, regaining her mobility within a month. Her return to daily routines, including her work as a gynecologist, morning walks, and exercise, showcased the transformative impact of the innovative spine surgery.
Mr. R Venkatesh, Group COO, Narayana Health, commented, “This groundbreaking spine surgery is a testament to the remarkable advancements in the field of spine surgery. The success of this innovative procedure performed by a highly experienced team highlights our commitment and dedication to improving patient outcomes.”

Mr. Abhijit CP, Facility Director, NH RN Tagore Hospital, expressed pride in witnessing the successful application of advanced spine surgery, stating, “Dr. Megha’s case reminds us that with skill, perseverance, and cutting-edge medical practices, patients can triumph over adversity.”
