This is the first in 15 videos I have seen about spinal stenosis surgery in which the patient is satisfied…. and “happy”. Wish him the best on his recovery.
I’m absolutely amazed at the technology and implants that are available for spine surgery. I only wish some of these implants / spine products were available 15-30 years ago.
It's a complicated situation, which becomes much less complicated when we put the patient and his or her individual anatomy at the center of the discussion.
Thank you for sharing this fantastic outcome. I am 57 and I too have been suffering with extremely painful and debilitation L5 nerve root compression for around 3 years. My Sciatica means that my left foot is numb and tingly, my calf and buttocks are painful and I can only stand and walk for short periods. So far I have had 2 cortisone shots so and on the advice of my surgeon am considering a laminectomy/micro-discectomy. The procedure you have featured here (and just 45 minutes of surgery) obviously seems far more appealing than having parts of my spine cut away. Do you have partner surgeons conducting this procedure in the UK? Do you see overseas patients? Thank you!
How old is this male person very please for him I have had operation some years ago now bad fall 70 now need L 4 /5 S1 fussion waiting for operate many years to wait.
@@wportermcrobertsmany thanks for your reply just worry just waiting list at hospital pain you won’t believe you are a very Good Specialist this spacer is what I was shown by my Nuro. Two to widen it open many thanks for the old men it give me hope I am just worried all time groin pain thighs butt both side on fire.🔥 Dr advised he didn’t want to go through back because of last operate mussels wants front
I have lumbar spinal stenosis and I watched one of your videos where you were talking about this procedure, so I asked my pain management doctor about it and he said that he was going to mention it to me. He was going to bring up my history and show my MRI to 2 top surgeons that he works with. I was excited and when I went in for my 5th Epidural he sadly told me that they wouldn't do that surgery on me because upon looking at the MRI they said that I have Congenital Spinal Stenosis. My pain management doctor said that at my follow-up he can talk with me about other options. I've been so sad since. Do you agree that having Congenital Spinal Stenosis that this procedure shouldn't be done?
56 years old i have been dealing with this for 5 or 6 years. I'm head.I believe three Cortisone shots shots. Four months a therapy. I can do less and less and life. I don't believe my doctor does this kind of surgery. I live in the northwest suburbs of chicago. I'm really bummed out today. I need help on finding a surgeon
Dr THANK YOU so much for videos. I had a ruptured disc L4-L5, had lamentectomy, then year later fused and able to walk! So i understand the process, til now. Told I have moderate DDD cervical, same surgeon, who says nothing he can do, not words I want to hear. Only when I sleep, I have "positional" tingling in thumb, index and middle finger on off side, continuously. Goes away when I start my day. Doing PT, but I know my DDD is the cause, HELP as I am not wanting this to get worse. QUESTION...Does this have to get worse to get better, with possible surgery? Could screws work so its not hitting my medial nerves??? I am a truck driver by trade, and PT said no more with air ride bouncy seat. Can I disability? THANKS for your time❣️😇
As an very active person at the gym, work, and personal life, I wonder if this would hold interest workouts. I have degenerative discs and the pain has been in my life since I was 17, now 36 it’s gotten worse
Doctor you have described my symptoms To the T.... I believe I have spinal stenosis Though I've been suffering with from many years. I cannot walk for any month of time cannot stand. I can reach to open a door and follow my face. I had surgery for a fall in 1978. s2 L5. I live outside of Orlando, Your office and your hospital except my insurance. What would be the process?

Me too T. Amazing. and even more amazing things in the pipeline!
The implant it's so tiny that it was hard to find 😄 tiny but mighty! I'm happy for the patient!
This is a terrific testimonial - patients need options.
Many thanks for information just Doing my brain in very worrying
I’m appalled that other neurosurgeons aren’t keeping up with modern apparatus and/or equipment
It's a complicated situation, which becomes much less complicated when we put the patient and his or her individual anatomy at the center of the discussion.
where are you located for a consult?
We love this! 🙌🙌🙌

Congenital LSS can complicate things. But Not always. history very important. as is the MRI

Amazing....but is this minimal invasive or is this still a case of making a large cut. Would appreciate knowing that info.

they’re rock solid at 4-6 months.
