Sheila, an example of life
She is a young lady who was successfully operated on 2 years ago when she underwent a complicated procedure to correct a curvature in her spine detected in her first year of life.
At 14 she started rehabilitation at the CRIT (Integral Rehabilitation Center) – Teleton in Cancun, however, specialists explained that rehabilitation would be no use without surgery. “The doctors spent two years looking for a hospital meeting all the conditions for this kind of operation”, she recalled, “because it required a highly specialized team”.
The professionals in charge of the operation were Jorge Luis Dominguez, orthopedic surgeon and trauma specialist specializing in spinal surgery; Luis Edmondo Rocha, neurosurgeon and Jesus Alvares Tostado, specialists in critical surgery.
