The latest installment of my introductions to the different types of spinal surgery. I thank my daughter for working as cameraman during our trip- sorry for the shaky video.
As I related in the video post, the disc replacement is a relatively new compared to most of what’s out there. It is a pretty elaborate procedure, and the recovery time will vary largely based upon the overall health, weight, age, and fitness of the patient prior to the surgery.
Below is an image of the prosthetic device itself.
One type of replacement disc prosthesis.
Thanks for visiting, in the next installment of this surgery series, I will review the foraminotomy and a brief wrap up. Look for more posts from Israel this week.
Best,
Andy
