Hi Everyone,
I meet with Dr. Ananthkrishnan at Emory tomorrow and have some preliminary questions:
How many scoliosis surgeries do you do per month?
What is your estimate of correction?
What is the infection rate?
What is the nerve damage rate?
How many days in hospital?
Will your spinal cord be hooked up to a monitor to check for possible paralysis
Recovery time?
Will rib hump change?
What about blood loss?
Request to speak to someone surgeon did similar operation on
What other questions should I add to my list?
Dr. Ananthakrishnan's bio:
Dr. Ananthakrishnan trained with one of the pioneers of scoliosis surgery, Dr. David Bradford, at the University of California at San Francisco. After completion of her fellowship, Dr. Ananthakrishnan practiced orthopedic and spine surgery for over three years at the University of Washington in Seattle. In 2007, she left Seattle to work with Medecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. She then worked as a volunteer consultant at the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, before starting her position at Emory University. She maintains an interest in developing-world orthopedics and is currently involved in projects in the Philippines and Malawi.
Dr. Ananthakrishnan's practice focuses on adult degenerative conditions, including scoliosis. She also treats adolescent spinal disorders as well as tumors and cervical conditions.
Warmly,
Doreen
