#### Paras Health Udaipur Creates World Record with 17 cm Spinal Tumor Surgery

Udaipur. In a groundbreaking medical achievement, Dr. Ajit Singh, renowned neurosurgeon at Paras Health Hospital, Udaipur, successfully removed a 17-centimeter-long intramedullary tumor from the spine of a 21-year-old woman. This extraordinary surgery has been officially recorded in the International Book of Records, marking India’s proud presence on the global neurosurgery landscape.

The tumor, extending from the second cervical vertebra (C2) to the fifth thoracic vertebra (T5), made the surgery one of the longest and most complex spinal procedures ever performed. Paras Health registered this feat as the “Longest Spinal Ependymoma Removed from the Upper Spine.”

The surgery was conducted using advanced technologies such as neuro-navigation and intra-operative neuro-monitoring, ensuring both precision and patient safety. Remarkably, within days of the operation, the patient recovered fully and resumed a normal life—an outcome credited to the team’s expertise and continuous care.

With over 5,000 successful neurosurgeries to his name, Dr. Singh is a pioneer in minimally invasive surgery, neuro-oncology, and pediatric neurosurgery. He believes, “True success in neurosurgery comes not just from technology, but from dedication, compassion, and continuous care.”

This achievement is not merely the story of saving one life; it underscores India’s growing contribution to global medical science and reaffirms Paras Health’s commitment to delivering world-class treatment with empathy, innovation, and excellence.
