Robotic Spine Surgery: Advanced Technology for Better Outcomes

Dimapur: Chronic back pain and spine problems can make daily life difficult, affecting mobility and overall well-being. For those requiring surgeryrobotic-assisted spine surgery is a game-changing advancement, offering greater precision, safety, and a faster recovery.

How Robotic Spine Surgery Works

According to Dr. Puneet Girdhar, Principal Director & Head – Ortho Spine, MIS & Robotic Spine Surgery, BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, Delhi, unlike traditional spine surgeryrobotic technology assists the surgeon in performing procedures with extreme accuracy. A detailed 3D scan of the spine is taken before surgery, helping doctors plan the procedure down to the finest detail. During the operation, the robotic system provides real-time guidance, ensuring implants or screws are placed with pinpoint precision, minimising damage to nearby tissues.

Why Choose Robotic Spine Surgery?

  • Higher Precision: Reduces the chances of errors, ensuring correct implant placement and alignment.
  • Minimally Invasive Approach: Smaller incisions lead to less pain, minimal blood loss, and faster healing.
  • Quicker Recovery: Most patients experience less discomfort and a shorter hospital stay.
  • Lower Risk of Complications: Accurate surgery lowers the chances of nerve damage and implant failure.
  • Personalised Treatment: Advanced imaging helps doctors tailor the procedure to each patient’s unique condition.

Who Can Benefit from Robotic Spine Surgery?

  • People with chronic back pain who have not found relief through medicines or therapy.
  • Patients with spine conditions like scoliosis, stenosis, or degenerative disc disease.
  • Individuals requiring spinal fusion or implants, where precise placement is crucial for stability.
  • Those with spinal fractures, who require minimally invasive stabilisation.

A New Path to Pain-Free Living

Robotic spine surgery is redefining spinal care, making procedures safer, more accurate, and easier to recover from. Patients can return to their normal activities sooner, with less pain and improved mobility.

If back problems are affecting your quality of life, consult a spine surgeon to see if robotic spine surgery is the right option for you.

Fortis Cunningham Road Performs Successful Robotic Surgery on 16-Year-Old with Large Ovarian Cyst

Fortis Cunningham Road Performs Successful Robotic Surgery on 16-Year-Old with Large Ovarian CystBengaluru, May 13th, 2025: Fortis Hospital, Cunningham Road successfully treated a 16-year-old schoolgirl, who experienced sudden and severe abdominal pain in the middle of her 10th-grade board examinations. Under the expert care of Dr. Rubina Shanawaz, Consultant – Urogynaecology, Gynae-Oncology & Robotic Surgery at Fortis Hospital, Cunningham Road, the teenager underwent a Robot-Assisted Left Ovarian Cystectomy. Despite the complexity of the case, doctors were able to preserve both her ovaries. She recovered well post the surgery and was discharged on the same day.

Prior to admission, the patient had been experiencing severe discomfort including lower abdominal pain, back pain and an inability to pass urine for two days. These symptoms significantly affected her ability to focus on studies and sit for prolonged hours during her exams. The sudden worsening of her condition posed a serious risk to both her health and academic progress.

A thorough evaluation at Fortis Hospital, Cunningham Road, revealed a large ovarian cyst measuring 8 cms. Given her age and the size of the cyst, there was a substantial risk of ovarian torsion, a medical emergency where one of your ovaries twists on the tissues supporting it. This could have resulted in the loss of the ovary and long-term effects on both her reproductive and hormonal health. Recognising the urgency, Dr. Rubina Shanawaz recommended immediate surgical intervention.

Explaining the procedure, Dr Rubina Shanawaz, Consultant – Urogynaecology, Gynec-Oncology & Robotic Surgery, Fortis Hospital, Cunningham Road, said “Given the urgency of her health condition, we performed a robot-aided surgery the same day. The ovarian cyst was successfully removed entirely, and we were able to preserve both the ovaries Robot-aided surgery allowed for high precision with minimal invasiveness, resulting in significantly reduced pain and a quicker recovery. Ovarian cysts of this size are rare in adolescents, and early intervention was crucial to prevent complications such as ovarian torsion, which could have led to the loss of the ovary. Fortunately, the cyst was benign. The patient was pain-free within hours, discharged the same day and remarkably, she was able to resume her board examinations just two days after the surgery.”

Mr. Chandrasekar R, Facility director, Fortis Hospital, Cunningham Road, Bengaluru said “This case reflects our commitment to providing timely, advanced, and patient-centric care. By combining cutting-edge technology like robot-assisted surgery with clinical expertise, we were able to deliver a precise, minimally invasive solution that ensured both medical and personal outcomes for the patient. Supporting a young student in recovering quickly and returning to her exams is a testament to what modern healthcare can achieve when driven by compassion and innovation.”

Shield Your Hair from Pollution with the Power of Henna Cream

Shield Your Hair from Pollution with the Power of Henna Cream

By, Clelia Cecilia Angelon, Founder and CEO, Surya Brasil

While many cities across the world have reported alarming levels of pollutants in the air, children, youngsters, elderlies and pregnant women are the worst to be impacted. The major focus has been on the negative impact it has created on the respiratory system, and there are multiple other problems that have risen. While for skin, one can use moisturising and cleansing lotions, and air can be purified with the help of air purifiers, it is the hair that gets least attention since the impact is not immediate. It is only when many people report hair that are brittle, rough and more prone to hairfall, the long term impact of pollution on hair can be seen. Thus, there is a need for a solution that can cure these long-term problems.

The first step one must take in the direction to deal with hair problems is to switch to natural products. Chemical based hair dyes that are a favourite amongst fashionistas and those looking to cover their greys add further to the negative impact of pollution. Henna is a great alternative to these harsh chemical based hair dyes that contain PPD, TEA, hydrogen peroxide, DEA, Ammonia and its derivates like ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine. Cutting off such dyes will help cut off these toxins that can cause cancer in long term. They can also cause thyroid or hormonal imbalance due to the presence of phthalates and sulphates. Even when you use henna, make sure it is organic, vegan and natural. Do read the label carefully to ensure that there are no harmful chemicals in the natural product that you are buying.

Many people often find henna application a messy affair. One needs to soak it for hours, then add other herbs that will help the henna to give a better tint. In fact ingredients such as amla, pomegranate peels are added to get a darker shade rather than the orangish tint that henna gives. We now get henna cream in the market that is pre-soaked, pre mixed formulation. It comes with easy to apply applicator that makes self-application of henna cream easier. When combined with Brazilian herbs such as Babacu oil, Jua, Cumaru, Guarana, Copaiba, Jaborandi, and Aca, it gives hair strength and shine, and in various combinations, it produces hair colours such as brown, chocolate, natural black and even red. In order to reverse the damaging effects of pollution, henna cream also treats and conditions the hair.

Henna cream is beneficial for scalp, hair, and roots. It reduces the possibility of contaminants that could irritate and trigger allergies while conditioning and cleaning the space. It gives your hair a shine, making sure that your strands are flowing like the beautiful mane they were before the pollution affected them. The thin layer that is formed after the henna is washed off protects the hair from further damage in the event of prolonged exposure.

To strengthen your immunity and inner power, it’s also a good idea to make some dietary adjustments. For example, you should eat enough seasonal fruits and vegetables. Finishing the day with a warm oil massage can also help to lessen the negative effects of pollution on your hair because, in addition to relieving stress, it allows your hair and scalp to absorb all the nutrients from products that contain natural and Ayurvedic ingredients.

Healing After Birth: Nurturing Emotional Wellness One Step at a Time

By Rima Bhandekar, Senior Psychologist (Helpline), Mpower, Aditya Birla Education Trust

Welcoming a new baby into your life is often seen as a joyful and fulfilling experience. While it can be, for many mothers, it also comes with its share of challenges. Managing a newborn’s feeding schedule, coping with rising expenses, and juggling household responsibilities—often with limited support—can feel overwhelming. Behind the smiles, many mothers silently struggle, battling exhaustion and guilt over even considering taking a moment for themselves.

These challenges can sometimes lead to postpartum depression, leaving new moms feeling isolated, uncertain, and emotionally drained. It’s important to remember that mental health is just as vital as physical recovery during this time. If you’re a new or expecting mom, know that you’re not alone. Here are some kind and supportive ways to care for your emotional well-being as you navigate this phase:

1. Acknowledge the emotions

Feeling tired, anxious, or even sad after childbirth? Emotional
overload isn’t disappointment — it’s your brain asking for breathing room, when
we acknowledge it, we start leaning on. Start asking for support from your spouse,
your parents, your in-laws, or even close, trustworthy friends. Asking for help doesn’t make
you bad; it makes you wise.

2. Even Small Moments Matter

You’ve got a zillion things to manage, but taking care of
yourself is non-negotiable. It could be a 5-minute tea break, a quick nap, or
a short walk outside can do marvels for your mental health, which in turn influences
your energy to care for your baby, so make sure you give yourself permission
to do these things.

3. Lean on others and Find Strength in a Support

It is comforting to know other mothers feel the same way you
do. Form connections with other mothers, even if it’s just through groups formed
online. Sharing gives mothers a secure space to express the range of emotions such
as anger, grief, joy.

4. Embrace the Journey, Not Perfection

TAKE IT SLOW! Motherhood isn’t about getting everything right—it’s about showing up with love, even on the tough days. Allow yourself to make mistakes, to feel exhausted, and to not have all the answers. Your baby doesn’t need a flawless mom—they just need you, exactly as you are.

5. Make Time for Little Moments of Self-Care

A warm shower, a short walk, reading a few pages of a book, or simply taking deep breaths—these small acts of care can bring comfort and remind you that you matter too. Even in the chaos of motherhood, nurturing yourself is just as important as nurturing your baby.

6. Seek Professional Support When You Need It

f sadness or anxiety feels overwhelming, reaching out to a mental health professional can be a powerful step toward healing. Remember, help is always available. Mpower’s 24×7 helpline (1800-120-820050) is one such resource where you can connect with someone who understands and can guide you toward brighter days. You are not alone and deserve care, understanding, and support.

To every mother navigating the ups and downs of this journey, your love, your strength, and even your struggles are deeply meaningful. You are not just caring for a new life; you are rediscovering yourself in the process. And that, in itself, is a quiet, powerful kind of heroism.

You are never alone. You are not just bringing a child into the world—you are becoming an even stronger version of yourself. And that is truly extraordinary.

Can Moles Increase Your Risk of Developing Skin Cancer?

Authored by Pinaki Mahato, Consultant – Medical Oncology, HCG Cancer Centre, Vadodara

Time & age are two common factors that affect the transformation of our skin. Every individual has certain unique skin features, moles or freckles being the most common ones. Usually, moles appear as birthmarks and do not pose any cause for concern.

Moles, most commonly known as nevi, are small, benign, regular-looking skin growths caused by a cluster of melanocytes or pigment-producing cells. Though unusual, one of the most severe forms of skin cancer, known as melanoma (a type of skin cancer developed from melanin-producing cells), can look like a mole.

If diagnosed in time, skin cancer can be treated successfully. However, one must possess a basic understanding of the kinds of skin cancer, the risks, and preventive measures to maintain overall well-being.

Some typical characteristics include:

  • Larger size
  • Irregular or blurry borders
  • Varied colours (brown, black, red, pink, or tan)
  • Asymmetry
  • Raised or flat texture

In case you notice any of the above irregularities, consult a dermatologist promptly.

The main kinds of skin cancer include:

  1. Actinic Keratosis: A precancerous condition caused by sun exposure. It can develop into squamous cell carcinoma if untreated.
  2. Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): The most common and least aggressive form, often found on sun-exposed areas like the face and neck.
  3. Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC): Can spread if untreated. Often appears as rough, scaly patches or open sores.
  4. Melanoma: Can appear anywhere in the body, even unexposed areas like under the nail beds, toes, or on the scalp.

The Standard ABCDE Rule – How to Self-Examine?

  • A – Asymmetry: Unidentical sides
  • B – Border: Irregular edges
  • C – Colour: Uneven colour or multiple shades
  • D – Diameter: Larger than 6mm
  • E – Evolving: In terms of size, shape, colour, etc

Routine self-exams are essential to determine any unusual growths as well as get a better understanding of the risks involved.

Treatment Options

Though the treatment options often vary basis the size, type and stage of skin cancer:

  • Surgically removing the moles is a common practice for most skin cancers
  • Mohs surgery offers precision removal for sensitive areas like the face
  • Topical or OTC medications might help in treating actinic keratosis or superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma
  • In cases where surgery isn’t viable, Radiation therapy might be suggested
  • For advanced cases of melanoma, Immunotherapy or targeted therapy is often utilised
  • For cases that do not respond to any of the above treatment, Chemotherapy might be monitored as a last resort

A Few Helpful Tips

For people with many moles, or a history of skin cancer, one must:

  • Perform monthly self-checks
  • Schedule annual full-body skin exams with a dermatologist
  • Consider total-body mole mapping or mole photography
  • Avoid tanning beds
  • Daily usage of sun protection
  • Due awareness about the symptoms and risks

Looking Ahead

Skin growths are often not something to worry about; however, in case of any abnormalities might warrant expert intervention. Due awareness, and regular check-ups may help individuals understand their body better. In case of any inconsistencies, consulting a dermatologist, and asking the right questions, might help protect your skin from the risk of cancer.

Global Grace Cancer Run 2025 Announced as World’s Largest Cancer Awareness Event

Global Grace Cancer Run 2025 Announced as World’s Largest Cancer Awareness EventHyderabad, May 10th, 2025: GRACE (Global Research and Cancer Education) Cancer Foundation on Friday announced the 8th edition of Quambiant Developers Global Grace Cancer Run (GGCR)–2025, powered by Evernorth, the world’s largest Cancer Awareness Run, at a launch function held at Hotel Daspalla, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad.

The theme for the edition is “Run for Grace and Screen for Life”

The run will be organised by the Hyderabad-based non-profit Grace Cancer Foundation, which has been working for 11 years to alleviate the cancer burden through Education, Early Detection, Treatment, Rehabilitation, and Research.

Dr. Alagu Varsini, IAS, Secretary, Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TGSWREIS), was the Chief Guest, while Ms. Shilpa Reddy—Mrs. India, a model, entrepreneur, fashion designer, and socialite, graced the occasion as the Guest of Honour. The dignitaries were joined by Dr. Chinnababu Sunkavalli, Senior Consultant, Robotic Surgical Oncologist and Founder of Grace Cancer Foundation, along with a host of doctors, runners, and volunteers. Mr. Sujatha Rao, Dr Prameela China Babu, Mr. Vijay, Mr. Yogendranath, Bharanendra Nallamotu, Ashok Venkatachalam and others graced the occasion

Addressing the gathering of over 200 participants after unveiling the event poster, Dr. Alagu Varsini said she found the initiative very genuine and a need of the hour. We have engaged 70,000 girls during the National Cancer Week to create awareness about cancer. We will see that 10,000 girls students of the TGSWREIS participate in the run. We should talk about cancer openly and freely, she said.

Ms. Shilpa Reddy, in her remarks, said, there are a few things which are non-negotiable in life. And that good diet. We should take the right diet. Our food can be both poisonous and medicine. Make food medicine by taking the right food. Avoid eating packaged food which contains a lot of preservatives and synthetics. Another important non-negotiable thing in our lives is sleep, a good amount of sleep. Avoid taking toxins, listen to your body, she said.

Today all can’t afford to go for early detection tests of cancer. You may gift somebody a test., she said.

In his welcome address, Dr. Chinnababu Sunkavalli shared the vision behind the event: “The Run aims to make a meaningful impact by raising cancer awareness, promoting physical activity as a preventive measure, and enabling access to free doorstep cancer screening for the underprivileged.”

The 8th Global Grace Cancer Run will take place on 12th October, 2025 in hybrid mode—both Physical and Virtual. The physical run will be held at Gachibowli, Hyderabad, with over 30,000 to 40,000 runners, including 10,000 students from Navodaya schools, expected to be locally informed by Bharanendra Nallamotu.

The event features three race categories: 2K, 5K, and 10 K.

Corporate supporters include Quambiant Developers, Evernorth, and Ryan, who are backing the cause.

The proceeds will fund mobile cancer screenings for underserved communities, to screen one lakh lives for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDS) and deliver doorstep healthcare to rural India.

Over the past 11 years, the initiative has impacted 1.4 crore people across 130 countries. The Foundation’s programs range from:

  • Tribal Cancer Screening in Odisha and Araku Valley
  • Cancer checks for Anganwadi staff in Telangana
  • Screening for Cyberabad police personnel
  • HPV vaccinations and screenings in educational institutions
  • Internship programs for international students
  • Collaborative research and innovations

The 7th edition drew an overwhelming 1.5 lakh runners from 130 countries, making it a truly global movement.

Join the Movement. Save Lives.

Cancer doesn’t discriminate—it can affect anyone, anywhere. By participating in the Global Grace Cancer Run–2025, you’re not just running—you’re running for a cause. Your steps will help fund free cancer screenings for thousands of underprivileged individuals, bringing hope and early detection to those who need it most. This is more than an event; it’s a global movement spanning 130 countries, driven by compassion and the commitment to fight cancer together. Let’s lace up not just for ourselves, but for the lives we can touch. Run for awareness. Run for prevention. Run for change.

Cancer is no longer a death sentence—if detected early, it is curable. Early detection is the most powerful weapon we have. Regular screenings and awareness can save lives. Awareness is the first step toward prevention and cure. Many lives are lost not because of cancer, but because it was discovered too late. You may not run for yourself, but you can run for someone who can’t. Every step you take helps bring screening and care to people who otherwise have no access. 1 in 9 Indians is at risk of developing cancer in their lifetime. Participation in awareness initiatives like this run can make a real difference in shifting that statistic, Dr. Chinna Babu added in his closing remarks.
