Ghana Patient Successfully Treated With Minimally Invasive Shoulder Surgery in India
By Author : Dr. Deepanshu Siwach
26 November,2024Incidences of shoulder pain have been on the rise, and according to a study by Harvard Medical School, around 70% of people suffer from shoulder pain at some point in their life. While there can be multiple reasons for it, bursitis is the most common condition resulting in shoulder pain. It is an inflammatory disease in which the tendons get trapped under the bony area of the shoulder and become inflamed or damaged. Bursitis results in reduced shoulder mobility and can significantly affect day-to-day activities. We recently encountered a similar case from Ghana. Read this testimonial further to know how effectively the condition can be treated with minimally invasive procedures.
Know the Patient
Patient Name: Mrs. Naomi Gyamfi
Country: Ghana
Age: 44 Years
Sex: Female
Disease: Subacromial Bursitis, Acromial Spur, Right Shoulder Impingement
Treatment: Arthroscopic Subacromial Decompression and Acromioplasty
Hospital: Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi
Doctor: Dr. Havind Tandon
For Mrs. Naomi Gyamfi, a resident of Ghana, persistent pain in her right shoulder had become a significant obstacle, impacting her daily activities for over two years. Despite undergoing conservative treatments and receiving intra-articular injections in 2023 and 2024, the discomfort and restricted movement persisted. Determined to regain her quality of life, Naomi reached out to Medjourney for a solution—and that marked the beginning of her recovery journey.
Upon contacting us, Naomi was promptly guided to seek specialized treatment in India, renowned for its cutting-edge medical advancements and skilled professionals. She traveled to New Delhi with her husband and daughter and was admitted to the Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, a world-class healthcare facility. There, she consulted with Dr. Harvind Tandon, a highly experienced orthopedic surgeon specializing in shoulder disorders.
Understanding the Diagnosis
A detailed physical examination revealed the root cause of Naomi's discomfort. Dr. Tandon identified signs of impingement in her shoulder, accompanied by:
- Pain during abduction after 30 degrees.
- Significant discomfort during external rotation.
The findings pointed to a need for surgical intervention. Dr. Tandon recommended a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure to alleviate her pain and restore mobility.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Naomi underwent arthroscopic subacromial decompression with power shaving, acromioplasty, and an intra-articular steroid injection on her right shoulder. These advanced techniques were chosen for their precision and effectiveness, ensuring minimal tissue damage and quicker recovery. The procedure was a success, with no post-operative complications. Thanks to the minimally invasive approach, Naomi’s recovery was swift, and she was discharged within 24 hours in stable condition.
A Home Away from Home
Medical travel can often be overwhelming, but our team ensured that Naomi and her family felt comfortable and supported throughout their month-long stay in India. From assisting with travel and hotel arrangements to doctor's consultations, hospital admissions, and follow-up visits, we managed every aspect of their journey. Naomi expressed heartfelt gratitude, mentioning that she and her family never felt away from home. The seamless coordination and care they received made their experience not just a medical trip but a comforting healing journey.
As Naomi returns to her home country, she carries with her the joy of restored movement, a pain-free shoulder, and the assurance that she made the best decision for her health. Her courage, combined with the expertise of Dr. Tandon and our unwavering support, has set her on a path to a better quality of life.
