A medical team led by Dr Prakash Bista undertook the surgery that lasted for around four hours, informed his wife Neera, who has been escorting Rai since a month.

“Hopefully, I have gained my new life after the surgery,” Rai told Bhutan News Service.

“My colleagues have contributed for my treatment, for which I am highly grateful.”

Resettled Bhutanese from various countries financially supported Rai, who was suffering from acute breathing difficulty.

Rai was brought to Kathmandu from Mitra Nursing Home, Siliguri (India) when his family was unable to afford the proposed treatments in either Calcutta or New Delhi.

  8. Spinal fusion is surgery to fuse spine bones (vertebrae) that cause you to have back problems.Fusing means two bones are permanently placed together so there is no longer movement between them. Spinal fusion is usually done along with other surgical procedures of the spine.The surgeon will use a graft (such as bone) to hold (or fuse) the bones together permanently.
