Revolutionary Spine Surgery in Hubli – A Landmark Case in Cervical Disc Treatment

At Nara Vijnana Centre, Hubli, we recently achieved a significant milestone in spine surgery. A 39-year-old female patient suffering from severe cervical radiculopathy underwent artificial cervical disc replacement surgery, making it the first surgery of its kind in North Karnataka.

In the evolving world of neurosurgery, precision and patient comfort are becoming increasingly important. Leading this wave of surgical innovation in North Karnataka is Dr. Vijaymahantesh Pujari, a distinguished neurosurgeon in Hubli, known for his minimally invasive techniques that deliver exceptional results. One such cutting-edge procedure gaining attention is Keyhole Spine Surgery with Titanium Fixation — a game-changing solution for patients suffering from spinal conditions requiring stabilization.

Expert insights from Dr. Vijaymahantesh Pujari, leading neurosurgeon in Hubli & Dharwad, Karnataka

Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) is one of the most excruciating nerve conditions known to medicine, often described by patients as sudden, stabbing pain that feels like an electric shock on one side of the face. This condition affects the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) — the major nerve responsible for facial sensation — and typically targets areas around the jaw, cheek, or eye.

In a landmark achievement for spine surgery in North Karnataka, Dr. Vijaymahantesh Pujari, neurosurgeon in Hubli, has successfully performed a cutting-edge Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR) surgery—bringing world-class spinal care to the region.

Spine surgery has undergone a major revolution in recent years. Among the leading advancements is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) — a technique that significantly reduces pain, shortens hospital stays, and speeds up recovery. In Hubli, Dr. Vijay Mahantesh Pujari, neurosurgeon, is at the forefront of adopting such cutting-edge techniques, offering hope to patients suffering from chronic back pain and nerve compression.

Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. While it usually affects only one leg, symptoms in both legs are also commonly observed.

If you are experiencing persistent leg pain, tingling, or weakness, it may be time to consult a specialist. Dr. Vijaymahantesh Pujari, neurosurgeon in Hubli, explains everything you need to know about sciatica—from causes to treatment options.

Split Cord Malformation (SCM) is a rare congenital condition in which the spinal cord is split into two distinct hemicords. This anomaly can lead to significant neurological issues if left untreated. Although commonly diagnosed in childhood, SCM may also present in adults who experience neurological symptoms or undergo spinal imaging for unrelated issues.

In this article, Dr. Vijaymahantesh Pujari, an experienced neurosurgeon in Hubli, provides a detailed overview of SCM, its types, clinical features, diagnosis, and available treatment options.

Introduction

Spinal tumors are abnormal growths (neoplasms) that develop in the vertebral column or the spinal cord. They can cause severe complications, including chronic back pain, neurological deficits, and mobility issues. Early diagnosis and advanced surgical techniques significantly improve patient outcomes.
