Very informative . I have a friend out in the Philippines sadly healthcare there is not the best and I really don't think they are telling her the truth on everything she has been battling breast cancer for 4 years she has pretty much kicked the cancer behind but sadly it has done damage to her bones now she has compression fractures and lumbosacral in APL projections show diminished height of L2 and slight left curvature of the lumbar spinal column. What would you suggest our next steps would be , we have done x-rays and do MRI next week she has been in severe pain for several weeks and no longer can stand or walk without help. Any input would be greatly appreciated

Why doesn’t he have the image where you can see it?

I just had this procedure done yesterday Dec 1 2022,it's the next morning and the pain isn't as bad, but hasn't left as of yet. When I stand up it gets really tight in my back, but I'm guessing this is normal. I suffered a crushed T12 vertebrae just from opening my window. Can anyone tell me if the pain goes away any time soon?

Pls doctor give me your advise L1 unstable anterior compression fracture due to car accedent The doctor advise me for bed rest for 3 months, now two months passed, is there any complication like instability or future problem to my spine, I am 42 years old and no pain at all Is the vertebral body hight recovered back 33% of high compressed only on the anterior of vertebra, Can I do Bone kyphoplasty after 3 months of compression fracture

I'm based over in the UK and am looking at needing this surgery at some point. Had problems for over 20 years which are now progressing. Thank you for the education so I know what to ask my NHS surgeon (who likely will not be using these modern techniques) so I can choose whether I have to go private for better treatment.

Why would I need a fusion if my Grade One Spondylolisthesis never shifts but does move when standing up or laying down? Some docs say I need a fusion, and some say I don't. Very confusing.

I really appreciate your video. Very INTERESTING, to say the least. I have a question or three for you, doctor. In March 2016 I had a 3-level fusion cage surgery on S-1/L-5 - L5/L4 - L-4/L-3. The disc material between L-3/L-2 was about 50% gone and the ortho surgeon elected to NOT put an artificial disc in that segment. Rather - extend the rods and screws higher to keep pressure off the disc. Doctor used two rods - two plates and screws to hold everything in place outside my spine. Surgeon ground down facets and used the powder of them to be part of my inserted discs, if not all. Don't remember now. Doctor told me he felt he could give me about 70% OVERALL relief of my back pain prior to surgery. That percentage was considerably higher than what 5 other very prominent ortho surgeons promised me in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. (University of Michigan refused to do surgery on me, as did the 5 local surgeons). There was considerable relief from back pain for about 1 1/2 years. Then slowly it started increasing. After three years I went back to the surgeon who did my operation and asked him if there was anything he could find to help reduce my pain. He told me the MRI and x-rays he took of the area showed everything was in place as it should be. "So there's nothing I can do for you ... other than recommend you try some sort of an implant that sends electrical signals to the spine area." (I forget the exact name of the procedure, [not a Tens unit; but similar in purpose] but it didn't look all that attractive to me, and so I've never seen him again). Doctor told me what I was experiencing was S-I joint pain. (Little more about that below). Now what I find VERY INTERESTING to me about your video here is that my surgeon said NOTHING about the possibility of having my rods and screws and plates one day removed, IF I qualified. NOTHING was said about it, so I just assumed the hardware was intended to stay inside me until I died. But YOU indicate maybe NOT so???? Although I don't have discs moving in and out constantly like I had before my surgery, my back pain has consistently began getting worse over the last three years (six years after the surgery). I can only stand on my feet for about 30 minutes and my legs get so heavy I have to lie down. Yep - all the numbness and weakness in the legs, but that hardly left after the surgery). I've read extensively on Doctor Google that with as many discs that I had fused, especially the L-5/S-1, it's normal for trauma to move down into the S-I joints to act as the new "shock absorbers" I had one S-I injection from the side that radiates the most pain and it worked quite well for a couple of months. Then wore off. I had two more in the same area and I left the clinic with more pain than what I went in with. Decide NO MORE injections. So now comes my question/s. Is it possible that if I had my hardware removed, might I receive a lot of freedom from the back pain I live with now day and night? And would you recommend I NOT go back to the same surgeon who said NOTHING to me about the possibility of one day having the hardware removed, because I neither really would need it ... or it might be causing me undue pain? He is a highly rated spine surgeon according to many I spoke with, but personal recommendations can be quite "relative" I realize. Thanks for any suggestions you might care to offer. AND - if you have an ortho surgeon in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area you might recommend in checking me out, I would surely appreciate it. I would be willing to travel further if convinced it would be worth my time.

I'm on medicare, medicaid here in Ohio and am facing this surgery but they want to slice me open with a huge incision and cut into tissue at Riverside Hospital. no thanks. Dr. Kim in San Diego does this minimally invasive surgery too. How do I set up a consultation with your office? I don't speak to Dr. Kim until JUNE 20th!

Your videos are very informative and easy to understand. It's oviesly that you are an excellent craftsman that understand all aspects regarding your work. Can the Bone Kyphoplasty technic also be used to repair ruptured disks?

Do you suggest Bracing after Lumbar Fusion and bed rest or walking with no Brace? I had a failed fusion we assume I have micro movements so in pain when bending. It has been 2 years since fusion, I should be going for revision in about a 2 months.

I have 4 thoracic wedge type compression fractures from Multiple Myeloma (2013) due to my job as a San Antonio firefighter. 62 yr old retired upon diagnosis. Tried everything. Opioids, ablation, braces, heat, lidocaine patches etc. Physical therapy/exercise makes it worse. 3 pains specialists. No relief. Can't sleep, function. Life is miserable. Kyphoplasty was never even offered at diagnosis. Is this an option? Currently covered by workers compensation.

will it add height if compression occurred 19 weeks eariler

My mother is having pain from 5 months and acc to doc she is having frature in l1 to l3 pls suggest that can she go for this procedure now

I had this done today.. so happy I was asleep. I am in a bit of pain, can’t sleep. Hoping for the best. However they suspect cancer in my case.

Makes me sad that I suffered a work place injury with a compressed fracture in 2018 and no one recommended this to me, 3 years on and I suffer with back pain every day... is it too late for me to undergo this procedure?

what is the cost of surgery for spinal stenosis with osteoporosis and kyphosis and osteoarthritis of the Right Knee which requires replacement of the Right knee ( age 72 - otherwise in good health ) had i/a injection of Right knee about 1 year ago and i/a injection of Left knee about 2 months ago ? how long will the surgery be and can both spine and R knee be done at same time ? Living in Malaysia - any other center where this minimally invasive surgery is done successfully ?

The patients back looked fake. Why was the skin so loose and lumpy? Cool video, otherwise!

Did a lot of Live surgers for universities in Texas. Respectfully some advice, dont use to many cameras(confusion to some views). Best views is POV, Directly over the procedure and instrument equipment camera. If you have a hard time to convert analog output from your standard medical equipment camera to digital. I can give you some products that can help.

Thanks a lot! I had surgery about 3 weeks ago, my Doctor didn't tell me those information 😞I felt too afraid. And still I have more numbness and week left leg after the surgery! I am afraid if I had a failed sugery in L5S1! How I know if it failed? Should I take a new MRI? Does it show if it failed or not? Many thanks for answering

I believe you

How $$$ is the surgery!? I'm going to guess that it's around $30 40 thousand and that's just your hernia po. 🇨🇦🕊

I begged my doctor for this surgery, he refused to do. If he yes but there are some things look at....you have a 50/50 chance that you won't walk again. My choices are out the window. 🇨🇦🕊

What camera are you using ?

I am 23 years old and I already have 3 compression fractures on my back. I sadly compressed fractured my T12 similar to the one in the video. Although, mine is a bit more compressed. A neurosurgeon has recommended this procedure for me. The fracture happened in 2016 and I do still feel back pain. My T11 & T12 are so close to touching and my nerves are always spasming. Is this procedure something that will truly helped me in the long run? Has anyone had this surgery and can speak from experience? I am trying to get feedback before I decide to do a surgery on my spine.

It is interesting how the prefabricated disc was never questioned. This prefabricated disc is hard. There is no give to it. You are replacing something that has none of the qualities of a human Natural healthy disc. It would seem that this prefabricated disc would be painful post surgery.

Hello Doctor. I am 37 male. 2 months ago I was diagnosed with spondylolysis L4. Symptoms are buttock and lower back pain. Is it possible to completely heal from the spondylolysis L4 (stress fracture recovery) at my age by doing proper stretching and gaining abdominal muscles on daily basis?

Why did you choose stitches over surgical glue, won’t that leave a pretty ugly scar? I’ve seen this done where they used surgical glue on the outer layers of skin. That just looks like Dr. Frankenstein got ahold of the person’s neck..

Great video. Writing a novel and getting ideas for which town to set it in

Thank you for this video. It's very informative.

Great explanation

Can you make referral for hospitals or physicians that do this procedure .

Wow..thoroughly enjoyed watching this video...I also went to Breckenridge recently and made a video too....it's not snow season still this beautiful historic mountain town is full of attractions anytime of the year....immense options for shopping, food, drink..and beautiful Fall Colors..scenic views....Regards!

I remember working at the Balloon festival when I was a kid, we had a “food trolley” we would park at events. I also remember swimming in the lake with thousands of frogs. They were everywhere lol

That isn’t area 52! Area 52 is in Dugway UT. This video is Dumb.

Hello, I really like your videos! so impressive! I would like to take permission to feature one of them on my page Stamped Magazine of 1.2M followers: facebook.com/StampedMagazine/ I will give you full credit for this video, Contact us: videopublisher360@gmail.com Thanks in advance,

Lose weight and the compression on discs and nerves will reduce.

That was so helpful, Thanks for sharing 👍

My husband calls cross country skiing “Side Hill Skiing”! Our daughter lived there for several years before moving to Avon, CO.

Thank you👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I wonder why the doctor don't use a videoscope to see inside the spine when he removed the escess bone and tissue in the first half of the surgery. After all, the area is very small and dangerously close to the spine and nerve.

Cool, wonder what happened?

DR. SMITH, WHAT TYPE OF MEDICAL INSURANCE DO YOU ACCEPT ? I'VE SEEN TWO SURGEONS HERE IN FLORIDA AND JUST DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THEM AND THEIR PROCEDURES ?

Seems like he was struggling to get that tailbone off. Hope he recovered ok.

A clip on mic would be good for your audio quality. Looks like a nice place to lodge
