Wellspring India Meditour Pvt Ltd, a healthcare facilitation company, headquartered in Chennai, India and empanelled with leading multispecialty hospitals and Ayurvedic clinics, has served its first patient from Sultanate of Oman, Mr. George Abraham.
Mr. George Abraham Salalah, Oman for the past 14 years. He was suffering from Cervical Disc Prolapse at the C5-C6 level following a recent accident while at work. After the initial bouts of treatment including pain killers and traction, it was decided by the doctors in Oman that surgery would be the only option for a permanent relief.
While Mr. George Abraham and his family were in a dilemma as to where to get the surgery done, they were informed about Wellspring’s services by Wellspring’s associates in Oman, Badr Al Samaa Hospital, Salalah. His reports were sent to Wellspring who reverted with treatment suggestions from four relevant hospitals. With the help of doctors at Badr Al Samaa Hospital, It was decided to get his surgery done in Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre, a multispecialty hospital in Chennai.
He travelled on the 2nd day of finalizing the hospital accompanied by his wife and necessary arrangements were made in the hospital by then. He was given a warm welcome at the airport by the staffs of Wellspring and taken directly to the hospital. His admission procedures were instantly completed without any hassles. The preparations done by Wellspring prior to his arrival had helped him to get into the ward immediately for spontaneous medical attention.
The doctors including specialists attended to him on the same day and the investigative procedures began on the next day itself. The surgery was conducted on the 6th day of admission, after various procedures/observations. Being a major surgery, it took almost 3&1/2 hours and he was brought directly to the room. He was discharged on the 11th day of his surgery. The travel arrangements for his return travel was made by Wellspring who also gave him a warm send off.
Mr. George Abraham says he preferred to travel to India because of the better treatment facilities available and he chose SRMC for his treatment as this hospital is famous for Neurosurgery. He says “I am very much satisfied with the medical treatment and the hospital services. The ward quality, comfort and cleanliness here are in par with those in Oman and the doctors and staffs were highly accommodative.”
Wellspring staff’s regular visits to the hospital and follow up with Mr. George Abraham and his wife gave them a homely feeling. He was very glad to inform that Wellspring’s hospitality services and interactions for his treatment were excellent, as he says, “Wellspring addressed to our concerns and issues proactively and I would recommend Wellspring India Meditour to all those who wish to travel to India for their healthcare requirements.”

Cervical Disc Prolapse
Cervical Disc Prolapse is often referred to as a protruding disc, a herniated disc, a slipped disc, a bulging disc, a ruptured disc or even a collapsed disc.
A normal healthy disc does not prolapse, unless a severe accident occurs. The most important symptoms are neurological symptoms, meaning those symptoms due to pressure on the nerve(s) in the neck.
The diagnosis is often suggested on CT scans of the neck which the referring doctor may suggest. However, before surgery is performed, either a MRI scan or a myelogram will usually be needed.
The main reason for recommending surgery is to relieve the pain that radiates down the arm. If there is evidence of nerve damage causing weakness in the arm.
There are two main types of operation done for cervical disc prolapse or osteophyte causing pressure on the nervous system. One is done through the front of the neck, anterior cervical fusion or discectomy and arthroplasty and the other is done through an incision over the back of the neck, cervical foraminotomy or a cervical laminectomy.
During surgery, the prolapsed disc will be removed and a strut of a bone is grafted from the hip and inserted into the disc space.
In normal cases, hospitalization after surgery is usually for only 7-10 days. The patient is advised to wear a collar for about 6 weeks.
