Dehradun: Senior Neurosurgeon of Shri Mahant Indiresh Hospital, which is run under Shri Guru Ram Rai University, Dr. Mahesh Ramola along with his team members Dr. Amulya Agarwal, Dr. Ritu Singh has invented a new model of Rubber Band technique with the name Ramola Rubber band Technique. It’s significant to mention that this model is the cheapest Micro Retreater System of the world in Minimal Invasive Neurosurgery. This invention by Dr. Mahesh Ramola is has been published in World Neurosurgey Journal. ‘World Neurosurgery Journal’ is the most reputed Medical Journal in the discipline of neurosurgery.
It is the official magazine of ‘World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies’. This magazine is published by the leading publisher in the field of science, ‘Elsevier’. The 130 member committee members of World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies has its presence in five continents, out of which, 5 continental unions, 6 affiliated societies and 119 national neurosurgical societies., which represent 50,000 Neurosurgeons. This holds the status of adviser in the United Nations. World Neurosurgery Journal has writers and readers spread world over. The most significant readers are from USA, Europe, Japan and China. The primary objective of this journal is to function as the intellectual reference and motivation for the creation of new innovations, knowledge and quality based neurosurgical healthcare.
Over the inventions and its associated research done by Neurosurgeon Dr. Mahesh Ramola, neurosurgeons and spine specialists from the world over have extended hearty congrats to Dr. Mahesh Ramola. It’s worth mentioning that in the highly reputed ‘World Neurosurgery Journal’ only successful researches on very special neurosurgery topics are published. Chairman of Shri Mahant Indiresh Hospital, Shri Mahant Devendra Das Ji Maharaj has extended his hearty congrats and showered his divine blessings over Dr. Mahesh Ramola over this achievement.
President, Neurological society of India, Dr. Y.R. Yadav has also extended special congrats to Dr. Mahesh Ramola on this outstanding achievement. Dr. Mahesh Ramola had been working rigorously on this technique for the last 13 years. Now after international stamp of approval on ‘Ramola Rubber Band Technique’, it has become easy for Neuro & Spine Surgeries of the whole world to perform Micro Dysterectomy Surgeries without the costly Retractor System. It’s significant to mention that Lumbar Disc Surgery is one the world’s oldest and most popular Spine Surgeries. In case of pain caused in waist and feet (Sciatica) by Slip Disc, the success rate by this method of surgery is more than 95 percent.
The history of Lumbar Disc Surgery is more than 100 years old. Medical Specialists had believed that enough work has already been done in the past decades in this field. That is why, there was a misconception world over that now there’s no possibility of original and new medical research on Micro Retractor System. Dr. Mahesh Ramola broke this misconception and gave a pleasant surprise to the world by inventing the ‘Ramola Rubber Band Technique’ for Neuro and Spine Surgeons. By giving them a cheap alternative of Microlumbar Dystectomy Spine Retractor equipment.
In the whole world, Retractor Systems are being used for Micro Lumbar Disc Surgery. In most of the cases, the problem of wear and tear emerges which are not able to function properly with the passage of time. Due to this, a new system is needed to be taken after a certain period of time. In case of deformity or any breakage in the system, it also needs to be replaced. Different sizes of systems are required for patients as their body sizes vary. Most of the systems are made of steel.
As a result, the light of the Operation Theatre gets reflected which can even glare and blind the operating surgeon which enormously increases the complexity of the operation. In order to prevent this , the manufacturer do special black coating in Spine retractor System, so that no reflection of O.T. light or Microscope light takes place, but it makes the manufacturing cost of system as well as the surgery cost considerably high.
For instance, the cost of Casper Esculap Microlumbar Dystectomy equipment which is popular is most countries is about Rupees Thirty One Lakhs. At present, the neuro and spine surgeons of most countries are conducting Dysterctomy Surgeries using this equipment. WHAT IS RAMOLA RUBBER BAND TECHNIQUE MODEL? In order to carry out the traditional Micro Lumbar Disc Surgery (Sciatica Surgery), operation, this equipment is used to make out path between the muscles of the patient thus reaching the spine and conducting the operation. This ‘Ramola Rubber Band Technique’ is a modern and better alternative invented by Dr. Mahesh Ramola of Shri Mahant Indiresh Hospital in which ordinary Rubber Band is used instead of Microlumbar Dystectomy Retractor.
