AIIMS Develops Modified Surgical Technique to Improve Treatment of Severe Spinal Deformities

At AIIMS Delhi, Dr. Bhavuk Garg and his team have developed a modified posterior vertebral column resection technique over seven years to treat severe spinal deformities more safely. This approach preserves certain spinal elements until later surgery stages, enhancing stability and reducing risks of neurological and life-threatening complications. Patients with extreme spinal curvature, chronic pain, and breathing difficulties have shown improved outcomes, enabling better mobility and quality of life. The innovation has gained international recognition among spine surgeons.
