SRN Hospital docs successfully perform complex spine surgery
The surgery was led by Dr Sachin Yadav.
To stabilise the patient's spine, the team used a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) technique called Pedicle Screw Fixation, which is considered a leading method in modern spinal surgery.
Dr Yadav explained that MIS involves making much smaller incisions compared to traditional open surgery. This results in less damage to the muscles, reduced blood loss and a faster recovery for the patient.
Using fluoroscopy, or real-time X-ray imaging, screws are precisely inserted into the vertebrae, followed by the placement of rods to stabilise the spine.
This advanced technique is primarily used to treat spinal fractures, scoliosis (curvature of the spine), and degenerative spinal conditions.
Expressing satisfaction, principal Motilal Nehru Medical College (MLNMC), Dr VK Pandey said: "This complex surgery performed by our team is a testament to the high-quality medical facilities available in govt hospitals. Swarup Rani Hospital continues to adopt advanced technologies to provide the best care for its patients."

ACB flags major lapses at NTR Hospital; 22 medical staff face action
VIJAYAWADA: Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav has ordered a swift inquiry into serious irregularities at NTR Hospital in Anakapalle, following an Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) report indicting 22 medical personnel. The report, based on a surprise inspection in February 2020 and submitted in June this year, recommended major penalties against the then District Coordinator of Health Services (DCHS), nine doctors, and 12 nurses. Citing lapses such as unauthorised canteen operations, failure to disclose patient meal details, irregular civil works, poor food quality monitoring, and mismanagement of hospital duties, the report painted a grim picture of hospital administration. The DCHS was specifically accused of failing to enforce staff attendance and neglecting key supervisory responsibilities. Disciplinary action has also been recommended against nine doctors for negligence, and 12 nurses for patient overexposure, poor hygiene, lack of diet charts, and improper medicine documentation. The Minister also ordered action against a driver for fuel misappropriation worth Rs 74,000 and a sanitation worker for unauthorised medical dressing duties. Reaffirming his commitment to reform public healthcare, Minister Yadav said the move underscores the government's zero-tolerance approach to corruption and inefficiency. Since assuming office, he has prioritised staff accountability, regular inspections, and performance-based transfers. In recent months, the government has reassigned hospital superintendents, medical college principals, office superintendents, and clerical staff to plug loopholes in governance. Non-performers were removed and replacements appointed on merit. Field-level officers, including District Medical and Health Officers (DMHOs), were instructed to ensure strict implementation of health schemes and maintain discipline in operations. Calling the ACB report a reminder of past administrative failures, the Minister assured continued reforms to restore public confidence in government hospitals and ensure better service delivery.

Dr. S K Yadav, Chief Medical Superintendent of Ballia district hospital, told PTI Bhasha that the power supply in the area was disrupted on Friday evening, and the hospital's generator experienced technical problems, resulting in a 45-minute outage. Yadav mentioned that someone likely captured the situation on video and posted it online, leading to its viral spread on Saturday. In the emergency ward of a government hospital in Ballia district, Uttar Pradesh, a critical patient is being treated under mobile torchlight due to a power outage. — ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????????? (@IndiaObserverX) July 27, 2025 In response to the issue, the emergency medical room has now been equipped with an adequate number of inverters to ensure efficiency and prevent future occurrences. Earlier in June, a huge uproar occurred due to a power outage in Hardoi's district hospital. The opposition targeted the Yogi government for the lapse. The power cut was widespread and all the basic cooling facilities were hampered due to it. Congress highlighted the situation and posted on X (formerly Twitter), 'Look at the condition of Hardoi Medical College in UP. There is no electricity in the ward, patients and their attendants are suffering from heat and are forced to swing their bedding. This is the truth of the 4 trillion economy. Where crores were spent on publicity, but not even a smidge of work was done on the ground. The public is suffering, leader eating mushrooms."
