Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta Road Launches Dedicated Spine Deformity Clinic For Comprehensive Care Of Complex Spinal Conditions.

Bengaluru, Karnataka, 22nd of August, 2026 : Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road has launched a dedicated Spine Deformity Clinic to provide comprehensive evaluation and personalised treatment for patients with complex spinal deformities. The clinic was launched today in the presence of nearly 100 guests, including doctors, senior leadership, staff, and patients. Led by Dr. Umesh Srikanta, Additional Director, Neurosurgery & Clinical Lead, Spine Surgery, Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, the clinic brings together specialized expertise and advanced surgical capabilities to manage complex congenital, structural, or degenerative spinal conditions across pediatric and adult patients.

Spinal deformities can affect more than the alignment and appearance of the spine, with severe conditions potentially impacting posture, mobility, comfort, physical function and overall quality of life. Complex deformities, particularly in children and adolescents, often require detailed evaluation, careful surgical planning and specialised expertise to achieve optimal correction while protecting spinal cord and nerve function. A multidisciplinary approach enables timely assessment and an individualised treatment pathway based on the nature and severity of each deformity.

The Spine Deformity Clinic offers comprehensive services including complex spinal deformity correction, minimally invasive and endoscopic spine surgeries, and management of chronic spine-related pain, supported by advanced surgical technology, 3D real-time imaging and continuous neuro-monitoring where required. The clinic is designed to provide patients with a coordinated pathways from diagnosis and surgical planning through treatment and recovery.

Reflecting the clinic’s focus on complex spinal deformity care, two young patients who had successfully undergone corrective spine surgeries at Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, inaugurated the clinic. One of the patients, Ramya (Name changed), a 12-year-old girl, had presented with severe thoracic scoliosis, involving almost the entire spine and underwent corrective and fixation surgery with continuous spinal cord and nerve monitoring. The medical team performed corrective and fixation surgery allowing the team to plan and perform the correction with precision while continuously monitoring the spinal cord and nerve function. Following surgery, imaging showed significant correction of the spinal curve. She was able to stand and walk within days, achieving a full recovery without any neurological complications.

In another complex case, 14-year-old, Kiran (Name changed) who had previously undergone spinal surgery as a child for a congenital abnormality developed recurrent and severe spinal curvature. Evaluation revealed a complex congenital deformity caused by an abnormally shaped vertebra and fused bones, affecting the alignment and mobility of his spine. The surgical team performed an advanced revision procedure to correct and stabilise the spine, using 3D real-time imaging and continuous nerve monitoring to enhance precision and safety.

Dr. Umesh Srikanta, Additional Director, Neurosurgery & Clinical Lead, Spine Surgery, Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, said, “Complex spinal deformities, particularly in children and adolescents, require detailed assessment, careful planning and specialised surgical expertise. These conditions can significantly affect posture, mobility, comfort and quality of life. The Spine Deformity Clinic brings together focused expertise and advanced technology to enable a structured and personalised approach to these challenging conditions. Seeing these two young patients regain mobility and confidence following complex surgeries makes the launch of this clinic particularly meaningful.”

Mr. Gautham CB, Facility Director, Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru said, “The launch of the Spine Deformity Clinic reinforces our commitment to providing specialized care for patients with complex spinal conditions. By bringing together focused expertise, advanced technology and coordinated care, we aim to provide patients and their families with a comprehensive pathway from evaluation and treatment to recovery.”
