Jammu, 23-10-2024: AIIMS Jammu has marked a significant milestone by commencing spine surgeries, setting a new benchmark for advanced medical care in the region. The first successful procedure was performed on a patient suffering from L5-S1 Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc (PIVD) with right-side radiculopathy, a condition causing debilitating back pain and nerve compression. The expert surgical team, led by Dr. Tarsem Lal Motten, Dr. Rashid Anjum, and Dr. Imran, worked in tandem with the anesthesia team, led by Dr. Sunana Gupta and supported by Dr. Sandeepika Dogra and Dr. Pallavi, to ensure patient safety and comfort.
This groundbreaking surgery underscores AIIMS Jammu’s growing capacity to offer specialized, high-level care. The institution’s Department of Orthopedics is now positioned to provide advanced spine treatments, including complex deformity corrections and scoliosis surgeries, complementing its wide array of subspecialties.
Executive Director and CEO of AIIMS Jammu, Prof. (Dr.) Shakti Kumar Gupta, hailed this achievement as a turning point for the institution. He highlighted AIIMS Jammu’s commitment to expanding medical services, aiming to meet the region’s healthcare demands with top-tier medical expertise and cutting-edge technology.

AIIMS Jammu’s spine surgery initiation is not just a leap forward for the institute but a significant boon for regional healthcare, reducing the need for patients to travel long distances for specialized treatments.
