Advanced Treatment for Spine TB (Pott’s Disease): Global Care with Dr. Deep Parmar in Ahmedabad

Spinal Tuberculosis, commonly known as Spine TB or Pott’s Disease, is a serious form of tuberculosis that affects the vertebral column. If left untreated, it can lead to severe back deformities (hunchback), spinal instability, and permanent paralysis due to nerve compression. While it is a complex condition, with the right combination of medical therapy and surgical intervention, a full recovery is possible.

For international patients, Dr. Deep Parmar, a leading Neurosurgeon and Spine Surgeon in Ahmedabad, offers specialized protocols for the management of Spine TB. His practice is a global destination for patients seeking definitive treatment for spinal infections, combining advanced Indian clinical expertise with world-class surgical technology.

🔍 Understanding Spine TB: Symptoms and Diagnosis

Spine TB occurs when the tuberculosis bacteria spread to the spinal bones, leading to the destruction of the intervertebral discs and vertebrae.

Common Symptoms:

  • Persistent Back Pain:Chronic, localized pain that worsens at night.
  • Spinal Deformity:A noticeable “hunch” or curve in the spine (Gibbus deformity).
  • Neurological Deficits:Weakness in the legs, numbness, or loss of bladder/bowel control.
  • Systemic Symptoms:Unexplained weight loss, low-grade fever, and night sweats.

Dr. Deep Parmar utilizes CT-guided biopsies3T MRI, and GeneXpert tests to confirm the diagnosis and determine the extent of bone destruction before initiating a treatment plan.

🛠 Surgical and Medical Management by Dr. Deep Parmar

The treatment for Spine TB is twofold: Anti-Tubercular Treatment (ATT) and, in many cases, Surgical Intervention.

  1. Advanced Surgical Decompression

When the infection causes a build-up of pus or dead tissue that presses on the spinal cord, Dr. Parmar performs delicate neurosurgery to clear the infection. As a neurosurgeon, he is uniquely skilled at protecting the spinal cord during this high-risk procedure.

  1. Spinal Stabilization and Reconstruction

In cases where the TB has destroyed the vertebral bones, the spine becomes unstable. Dr. Parmar uses high-grade titanium rods, screws, and cages to reconstruct the spine, correct deformities, and provide the strength needed for the patient to walk again.

  1. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)

Whenever possible, Dr. Parmar utilizes “Keyhole” techniques to drain abscesses and stabilize the spine. This is especially beneficial for international patients as it results in less pain, minimal blood loss, and a faster return to their home country.
