WE ARE THRILLED TO REPORT that Our Committee Member Mr Antony Leopold is doing well after his spine surgery at the Pantai Medical Centre in Ipoh, Perak, earlier today.
Leopold was operated by a spine specialist from Tanjung Bunga Medical Centre in Penang by the name of Dr Sim Chaw Shian.
He was also attended by orthopaedic surgeon Dato Dr Vasan Sinnadurai from Pantai.
The type of surgery that Leopold went through is called a cervical spine decompression and fusion procedure.
It was carried out to correct several compressions in Leopold's spine that was causing him to suffer intense pain in his arm and neck.
The scheduled four-hour surgery that began at 8am took longer than expected. This was after his surgeons discovered an unexpected third compression in his spine during the surgery.
