Recovery from Lumbar Artificial Disc Surgery

"I think there is a need for patients to promote the development of artificial intervertebral disc technology, which should be made easier to use. About half of US insurance companies say that artificial intervertebral discs are experimental or research use Frankly, this is nonsense. "- Jack Zig Le, Maryland

The patient recovered quickly - half the time of lumbar spinal fusion. The patient awoke and walked in the afternoon of the operation. Approximately two-thirds of patients will be discharged the next day after surgery.

It shows how to wear a brace to place a light brace on the patient and limit extreme movement. It is important to protect the abdomen within 2 weeks while soft tissue is healing. As the spine heals, the struts also protect the spine. Some patients are encouraged between 2 weeks and 6 weeks after surgery and physiotherapy can be started in 6 weeks as needed. By the 3rd month, the patient resumed activity and resumed

The good thing is that the patient should get up and walk quickly. They are independent and do not need someone to take care of them for weeks at home

The most common annoying comment is "You have given me a life!" As a surgeon, this is very, very beneficial - it is a really injured person who lost some life due to back pain, but there is nothing to improve it - but they are surgical implants of artificial discs After pain there is no pain, and it flows again.

At our university, we are doing this for 14 years - so we later saw other problems in patients - this is a very amazing thing. You know, this is a hug, thank you.

I think that patients need to promote artificial disc technology and improve ease of use. About half of US insurance companies say that artificial intervertebral discs are for experimental or research purposes, but frankly it is nonsense. These devices have been fully tested and approved by the FDA for 8 years. In addition, thousands of people around the world are doing very well using artificial intervertebral discs.

What doctors can do is limited. But the patient is very smart. They finished the study. They asked about clever questions and came to understand the results of long-term data. They need to defend themselves, and insurers will have to relax if there is enough people to do so

The last few words. Many insurance does not cover patients with artificial discs looking for places to purchase this care. They compensate for the artificial disc and look for surgeons to transplant outside the United States (mainly Europe). However, there are several places in the United States that provide quality spatial care that is economically competitive with locations outside the United States.

Various surgical procedures for spinal surgery are microsurgery, artificial disc replacement, cervical spine surgery, lumbar disc herniation, chest surgery, laser spine surgery, spinal surgery, laminectomy, lumbar disc herniation, cervical disc herniation. , Lumbar surgery, rotational spinal resection and cervical spinal fusion surgery. The spine has a series of bone blocks separated from each other by a soft tissue disk. In the arrangement of the backbone there is a tunnel called the spinal canal. The channel has a neural sequence including nerve root and spinal cord. However, there are many free spaces between the nervous tissue and the spinal canal boundary, which can be compressed through a number of different special conditions including spinal cord injury.

Various surgeries that can be used for spinal surgery are microsurgery, lumbar spinal fusion, lumbar disc herniation, artificial disc replacement, neck surgery, spinal surgery, chest surgery, lumbar surgery, rotational spinal resection, laminectomy . , Cervical disc herniation, cervical spinal fusion, artificial disc replacement, laser spinal surgery.
