Performs surgeries on other surgeons spines. I was concerned about nerve damage thats why I chose a neurosurgeon instead of an orthopedic surgeon. L4 - L5 fusion performed in 1998. Still holding strong.
I had the doctor re-do a bad pusion and also the next two discs. The first surgery was at TGH and the dr didnt do a good job and I left the hospital with a hard collar on,. He fixed the botched fusion along with the other two. When I went in for the surgery, I wheeled in the hospital in a wheelchair. When I left I walked out and had a bandaid on the incision. Plus he also removed the ugly scar from the first surgery and hid the new incision in a fold of skin in my neck. no one can tell its there unless I point it out. Im not sure if he is still practicing surgery or not, if he is USE HIM. If not, let him consult with your doctor.
