Meneka Landie Mohlahlo, a courageous young girl, overcame the life-threatening effects of scoliosis thanks to expert care and advanced medical innovation. Her condition severely impacted her lungs and organs, making surgery essential yet highly complex.
Under the leadership of Dr. Nash Munthree, the surgical team navigated significant challenges, including breathing complications during anaesthesia.
When spinal cord signals were lost during the first operation, Dr. Munthree made the critical decision to pause and prioritise safety. Following a recovery period in the ICU, a second surgery successfully completed the correction.
Today, Meneka thrives with a restored spine and renewed health. Her journey highlights the power of medical expertise, teamwork, and cutting-edge technology, with support from Joburg Surgical Hospital and the Vertice Spine team.
