  • Step into the high-pressure world of spine surgery with our latest video, where we take you behind the scenes to understand what makes being a spine surgeon one of the most daunting professions. The scariest moment? Working meticulously close to the spinal cord, where the slightest misstep can risk paralysis.
    In this revealing video, we show how spine surgeons, neurologists, and monitoring technicians work in unison during complex spine surgeries to safeguard against nerve or spinal cord damage. Witness the cutting-edge technology that allows surgeons to monitor nerve signals in real time, a critical tool that aids in preventing paralysis and enabling surgeons to make instantaneous adjustments to protect patient safety and well-being.
    Discover the tense moments when surgeons temporarily remove large cages from the spine to assess their impact on neuromonitoring, illustrating the delicate balance between surgical intervention and maintaining nerve function.
    But perhaps the most heart-stopping part of all? The wait. Join us as we explore the anxious moments following surgery, where doctors and patients alike wait with bated breath to see if the patient can move their legs. It's a vivid reminder of the risks involved in spine surgery and the incredible precision and care these surgeons must employ to ensure their patients walk away safely.
    Whether you're fascinated by the intricacies of medical science, the breakthroughs in surgical technology, or the human stories behind each procedure, this video offers a compelling glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of spine surgery. Dive in to see how surgeons navigate the thin line between risk and reward, all in the name of patient health.

    I had thorasic outlet surgery to remove my first rib in order to decompress my nerve. Unfortunately my nerve was right next to the bone so when they removed the bone they had to scrape the nerve off the bone and in doing so they caused the nerve to go into hibernation. It took 2 years before I could start moving a finger, but I did recover and actually delivered Coca-Cola for 6.5 years afterwords and drove a 16 bay tractor trailer.

    Hi Dr Webb, I've watched a number of your videos especially the ones regarding what you went through to get where you are and I congratulate you. In my younger days I was working towards and wanted to go to med school but I let other things get in the way and ended up talking myself out that I couldn't do it. Now getting ready to retire from what I am doing it's just a wishful dream. Keep up with your messages to these young ones so they don't do what I did and talk themselves out of their dream.

    Is it weird that I wonder how strong a nerve fiber and/or spinal cord is? Like, is it on par with a cooked spaghetti noodle? Weaker? Stronger?
    Like how much force to pull it apart. Maybe guy thoughts really are weird...

    Dr Webb how do you treat patients pain when there on suboxone and the buprenorphine blocks opioids and they require narcotics for pain relief. Do you lean towards something like soma or Valium?
