‘We
require awareness on spine surgery and spine instrumentation’
Dr Hillol Kanti Pal is the first spine surgeon in north India
to perform a two-level lumbar disc replacement (spine arthroplasty)
on a 38-year old woman. An AIIMS alumnus, Dr Hilol is presently
working at Dr Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital, New Delhi
. His areas of expertise include spine instrumentation, basic
neurosciences, neurotrauma, skull base surgery and medical
videofilms. Dr Hilol was the first surgeon in India to conduct
extra cranial-intra cranial by pass surgery. A quest for challenge
made him foray into spine arthroplasty. Dr Pal spoke to Sapna
Dogra about the procedure and other aspects related to spine
surgery.
