Master Soumil Dey, a 10-year-old from Howrah, West Bengal, was diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, with a 50-degree curve in the thoracic spine and a 35-degree curve in the lumbar spine. His family consulted Dr. S. Vidyadhara, Chairman and HOD - Spine Surgery at Manipal Hospital, Old Airport Road. After evaluation, Dr. Vidyadhara recommended robotic-assisted scoliosis correction for the thoracic spine, with the lumbar curve expected to autocorrect over time. The surgery was a success, and Soumil was walking just 6 hours later. He was discharged in 2 days and is preparing to return to school in a week. Soumil's family expressed gratitude to Dr. Vidyadhara and the Manipal Hospital, Old Airport Road team for their expert care and support, relieved by Soumil’s smooth recovery.
