Ghaziabad May 22 (IANS) Doctors at a Ghaziabad hospital have successfully performed laparoscopic spinal surgery on a 56-year-old woman said a hospital official on Tuesday.
S.V. Lakshmi had been in severe back pain for over six years due to overlapping of vertebrae in her spine.
The vertebra in her backbone was mounted on each other and there was a lot of pressure on the veins.

Lakshmi has recovered well and was allowed to return to her home the very next day Tyagi said.
