Lumbar spine surgical animation depicts a posterior lateral two level fusion at L4, L5 & S1 to decompress nerve roots. Incision is made posteriorly, from L4 to S1 vertebral spines. Laminectomies are performed along with removal of the spines at L4-5 & L5-S1. Nerve root is mobilized to allow access into the spinal canal. Discectomy is performed at L4-5 & L5-S1 in order to decompress the spine. Spacers (Cages) and bone graft are then inserted in between the vertebras at L4-5 & L5- S1, in order to maintain disc height. Six pedicle screws are place bilaterally at L4, L5 & S1. Two rods are inserted bilaterally at L4-S1 to complete the fusion. - Наука та технологія
I had this same exact procedure done. Best deduction I did about it. No leg pain the moment I woke up from surgery. I had no pain and even opted out from taking the prescribed pain killers. Recovery is uncomfortable; it took 3 months to make a full recovery, but totally worth it, as I never have any kind of nerve or back pain. I wasted a lot of time and money seeing chiros, physical therapist, and getting epidural shots. If you have a herniated disc, it needs tube fixed surgically. It's 2017, this is a fairly simple procedure nowadays for surgeons. Don't be scared, living with chronic pain and medicated is no way to live.
mydna18shark mind if I ask how old you are? I’m 40 and considering this but the surgery scares me.
palehail it's ok.dear I also have done this surgeryl4 l5 s1 fusion I m fit now .. u are asking about I 30 also but same day one patient have same surgery and the age of that patient round 45 but make sure that u r not diabetic patient and also not high B.P.. best of luck
@thomasdavidson6437 Holding up great, no problems, no pain, fully healed. I run, lift weights, and do yoga with a lot of bending. No issues after surgery; good as new.
@@palehailsame here
had L4 L5 fusion 4 weeks ago , x walking a mile the first week , not as bad as 90 % say on here , keep moving and it keeps soreness down , hardest part is watching someoneelse do your normal daily chores for you and there's only so many shows on tv.
Who are you to judge another person’s pain??? Just be happy you had an easier recovery than 90% of the other patients!!
Had this surgery exactly one year ago. Best thing I ever did. Pre-surgery pain gone immediately and after complete healing, I’m doing well.
I'm having this surgery in as few weeks. I found it very informative. The other videos that show real surgery are too bloody to understand the procedure.
How did the surgery go? Hope all is well.
How are you now?
I had S-1, L-5, L-4, & L-3 fused. It is a very deliberated decision to have such a traumatic and invasive surgery done on ones body, however, the relief of constant pain is very much apparent. The pain you deal with while recovering is the muscle & other tissue rejoining & healing after a major invasive procedure. An equitable trade off.
I agree with you, but initially the pain was absolutely horrific. After the physical therapy and just trying to get my flexibility back so I could bend again took awhile, but it was definitely worth it compared to the pain I was dealing with every day for a very long time. Everything has been good as new for years now.
For myself there was pain, but a different pain. Probably the pain of having the back muscles cut, then they heal & mend kind of pain.
Have to gear up for my 4th operation, as I did not heed the doctors advice and kept working.
is it worth it if you have mild pain and a somewhat noticeable hunched upper back (structural not posture)
My mother underwent this surgery recently... hope she gets well soon... how r u feeling now..
Aapka phone number dijiye
Soon I'll be getting this surgery done. Waiting to meet with the neurosurgeon. Scared, but need relief from the hip and leg pain.Hernated disc at L4 L5 plus spinal stenosis. Had back surgery before L5 S1. Praying that everything goes well. With God all things are possible.
Cecille Clarke Same issue but trying pt first hope to avoid surgery after watching it.
I had surgery on August 3,2015. The surgery was successful and I'm home going through recovery and rehabilitation.
+Cecille Clarke how are you doing right now ?
Cecille Clarke ?¿?¿?¿
cecille clarke¡!¡!¡¡
my god
damn surgeries ¡¡!!
I was wondering, does anything cover/protect the spinal cord since the spinous processes are removed?
Muscle and scar tissue are your only protection.
i had a 2 level fusion done in 2013...L4/L5/S1 but it was done via the ALIF procedure....basically they went through the front i have a 4 inch scar starting at my belly button....they removed both herniated discs and placed spacers where the discs were and then placed a plate and securing screws over each spacer to prevent further movement...BEST thing i ever did
Still feeling good??
Yep!!...sure am!!!
@@hardtop123 oh that’s good to hear. My husband has to get this surgery and I’m just scared to death, not only of how invasive surgery is, but the safety of medical devices that have to go inside of him, and also if it will work or not. So glad to hear you are still doing well.
@@maritza211 mate, with the way technology is these days, you can relax knowing that the people working on your hubby are very well trained in what they do, invasive or not, its gotta happen.....trust the technology and experience
@@hardtop123 можете показать ваш КТ снимок?
Had mine done May 6 2013.
Neurosurgeon, Dr. Raymond Haroun, was excellent. Recovery is swift and nerve compression is gone. Walking with no limp or weakness, and lower back pain is no longer an issue.
How are you doing? How old are you?
Hi dear all.
Please don't do heavy exercises without any trained coach in the gym .I had this surgery done in this Feb 2015. It was not an easy decision but being a cardiovascular technologist it's make me on a positive way to go ahead for a laminectony at L1 S5 segment I am 30 and now doing okay though it's just recently done but I believe it's gonna be okay in future. So please don't delay it if you are having irregular pains in your legs or leg back or may be neck.
Ishfaq Ahmad I had L1 burst fracture and the Rods put in place , I lift washing machines and fridges etc is it dangerous ?
You're a cardiology technologist? With what kind of education? You sound uneducated and can't write a coherent sentence.
U mean L5 S1 segment 😊
This is insane. Will have back issues forever. Period.
now I'm ready to go and perform surgery wish me luck guys
ron ron best of luck we are on same bord im scard to go through it do u know whr u going to do opretion
good luck🖒

I m a patient of post traumatic paraplegia from 1998. I m unable to walk. I want to be cured again please help me.
thanking u
Fine, Medical Art Works.Thanks.
May I ask questions ?
Had this done 7/4/99 L5 S1. Took 17 years for the PAIN to return. Now down my right hip and leg. Going to try Yoga and PT. ANYTHING BUT getting cut on again.
So not worth it for mild but consistent back pain?
I had this procedure done in 2009 but the doctor did not put in the interbody fusion cages. UCLA Health the hospital that performed the operation, did not tell me the cages were not used. I found out a couple of years later when I went to a different spine surgeon for advice. UCLA will not tell me why the cages were not used but, as a result, my spine did not fuse and I was left in worse shape than before. I'm now recovering from a second surgery that I believe corrected the mishaps of the first doctor (Duncan McBride). I am hoping for a strong recovery this time and definitely feel like I got a much better result from Cedars Sinai.
I think that one of the things that makes this surgery so dangerous is that it is not easy to research your doctor and get any meaningful reviews of their work. Some reviews of doctors that I read online complained about how long they had to wait when visiting the doctor which is hardly as important as the outcome. Some doctors were rated very highly but the procedures were very simple, not complex and invasive operations such as this. The reviews that I found most useful were those that discussed the complexity of the operation (the procedure, the history of back pain, whether it was a first or corrective surgery, etc.) more than the doctor's demeanor or promptness.
Once you have identified a doctor you may want to perform the surgery, try to talk to other doctors that are familiar with his/her work. Especially any doctors that you already know and trust. That is what gave me the most confidence in choosing my second doctor, whom I went with even though he was not in my insurance network.
I pray that you are healthy and doing good 👍
@@AdityaGupta-xq3kr thank you. Every day is a bit of a struggle but I'm getting by ok. UCLA Health never got in any trouble for botching my surgery, withholding my medical records so I couldn't sue or failing to disclose the negative outcomes from my operation. People should report wrongdoing to the Department of Public Health and the state medical board but don't expect them to do anything.
@@dangerrussmetal Glad you doing fine . I'm 19 myself and I have l5s1 disc bulge
I'm thinking of having the surgery done, but am so scared. He said he would put screws and brackets on L3 and L5 for herniated disk that is hitting the nerve on my right side. So torn and confused....
Hope you're doing well and continues to feel better. I'm thinking about having this surgery. Been suffering since 11/09. Can you tell me where this Dr. is located. And how are you doing now? Do you have any regrets?
Just did it last tuesday! No way to sugar coat it will be the worst,most debilitating pain u will EVER experience, takes like 15-20 minutes to get out of bed all while feeling your spine is going to rip,outrageous!! Think more than twice before doing it its like giving birth everyday for 2-3 weeks a woman next to me only did l4-l5 and has 3 kids and said she would rather give birth to 3 more in one week than deal with this! Oh and costs 150k to 230k so not cheap, hope everyone thinks about it
Wonderful I’m having l5-s1 fused been in pain 18 months and I tried everything else still on the fence about being cut open and being a workers comp case is even more frustrating
I'm still in pain from day one after the op in 2007 , i put it down to the hardware I'm going to see if i can get it removed , it's particular worse when i bend down then stand up.
very interesting i have my new sergury in one week L4 S1 and L3 S1 disectomy plus fusion.stay in the hospital for 5 days after that going to rehabilitate for 2 weeks and after that back to my home with back breeze for 6 months .
i'm 18 and i'm already suffering from spinal stenosis. it happened abt a year ago and since then its been very painful and i can't even walk properly. will this surgery enable you to do activities in the future? (like dancing because i'm a dancer)
Hey ! I hope you are doing well now .
God bless them ...who went for laminectomy...
I had this exact surgery done on the L5/S1 in 2003. Interesting to see how it was done. I have 4 screws and 2 rods in my back and a 6" scar.
Any pain ?
Tyler Weaver For the first few months there was. I had to get physical therapy cause I couldn't bend at all to pick anything up. Little by little it get fine and now its like I never had the surgery. It was perfect after about 6 mos to a year. If you are in need to have the op., go for it!! Good luck!!
Well mine is in may and I have an Idea where and what there ganna do I know there going to do some fusing and rods but don't know the specifics like t5 thur l5 all becUse I broke my back well I broke t11 t12 and part of lunbar compression fractures but yet im only 15 and its causeing my back to hump like kyphosis.
+Diane Carroll I'm having mine in october. my l4 is out of place
Welcome to the back pain club. One thing I always appreciate is there is millions of others suffering from back pain. I'll have to have fusion of l4 l5 and a c7-t1 most likely.
Unless you are unable to walk, do NOT go thru this. I had this procedure 6 years ago and I've been in constant pain. This ruined my life.
6 days post op. I had a much different experience than DRIPSONE73. Pain yes, managed with the meds. Never felt like my spine was going to RIP OUT. That is hyperbole. I am moving in slow motion, but got on the treadmill and did .25 miles already. Will work up to .5 today.
Had my done at INOVA Fairfax Hospital in Virginia.
Best of luck
Had this surgery in 2015. And still having pain. Not worth it. Please research for better updated procedures. Had my in San Antonio Tx.. now I'm screwed for life with pain. Dr said pain would go away in four years n still have pain. F*#kin insurance are cheap a**. My problem was I never got an attorney when I got injured at work. So please people get an ATTORNEY ASAP.
I hope you are doing good now.
Good luck to everyone for long waiting like my self nearly 9 month still suffering ohh GOD
Hard to see video with distracting writing on screen.
No sound???
the left Netflix Juanes boiler the coolest show I ever seen
After this surgery, do people experience pain for the rest of their lives? Or back went back almost normal with no pain?
Elma Canon I had pain since mine in 2006. I'm about to have my 7th back surgery in 2 weeks. My vertebrae above is destabilized. This is terrible way to live.
Oh the post op pain from this surgery is horrendous. Be prepared.
hai
@@kishalashawn5542 I hope you are doing good now.
@@AdityaGupta-xq3kr thank you! Better than before the last surgery, but not really “good”. I will say that the pain meds do at least work now, whereas before they barely took the edge off.
SO COOL 😍😍
Me hicieron esta técnica pero ademas tengo baras atravesando de extremo a extremo.
Don't get this surgery unless you need it. I mean when you are left with no other choice but surgery. Your life has to be miserable enough to not be able to take it anymore. That is when you will benefit from it. Otherwise you'll regret it. Too many people go under the knife thinking its no big deal. After all, surgeons make it sound like its a walk in the park. Remember they make a ton of money out of it, not you.
There must be a better solution, this seems like half solution that with create arthritis later in life...
Try ALL other options first, even if its just an inversion table to put space back in the vertebrae. It only takes the weight of a penny on a nerve root to make your legs and back feel like crap. Fusion is a last resort and once its done, you're pretty much out of options. And having it done also wears on the joint above and below the fusion which can lead to having more fusions. I myself had two microdiscectomy's on L3-4 4-5 and a laminectomy on L3-4. Its all good for a couple weeks til the scar tissue moves in and pushes on the nerves, then you feel like crap again til the scar tissue matures. Then it lessens up again. I wish I never had it done but I didnt have much of a choice. Was stuck on the floor too many times and could walk. When you blow some disks out, it can be a painful mf'er! Dealt with it for 5 yrs. Think I'd rather have a snapping turtle stuck on my balls!🥴
I hope you are good now .
@@AdityaGupta-xq3kr
Thanks! All good! Get around pretty decent now. Still get achy legs and a little tingly stuff in the legs every now and then, but it could be a lot worse I guess. Gotta keep yourself moving too! No sitting around 'cause it only makes things worse. Have a great day!

old school. would never consider this when so many NEW technologies are on the table today...
Miss Christy what is more up to date?
@Focal Point Images One small incision for a PLIF? You'll have at least 2 even for an XLIF.
what was the cost?
OMG HAD THE MOST DISTURBING AD EVER
All these comments saying they were fine and had no pain(or didn't take pain meds) are full of shit, or never had this procedure done. I had mine done like 5 years ago and I still deal with tremendous pain everyday...
Take care of your back children.
Move your NAME from the center. Geesh
hello Dr I have problem with my lumber , visualize presence of light prostrusion of the disc in L5-S1
the intervertebral spaces are lightly decreased in L4-L5 and L5-S1
Dr i need your help am from Gambia west Africa do anything possible to release me from continue pain please
good evening birthday how are you this is a patient from Gambia I live in West Africa I went to the hospital videos hospital for various City scanning the results are soon but my l5 l1 has a problem that is this is the herniated and it continuous pain when I'm sitting down when I stand up for a while and when I'm working for the wild the only time I have rest is when I sit down and I have to sit down street that's the time I will have to leave from the pain so I want you to come to my age Charlotte I want you to come to my head to help me Charlotte thank you very much
Invertion table look for it online, no need for operations .As long as you keep decompress your back pain will go away and it is possible to regenerate your disks.
it take about 2 years but it is possible , I have done it good health to all
In this 2 years, did you take a rest completely or still do your work normally? I have just taken a rest for 1 year, but my back pain does not improve anymore. I am very confused and worried about my future. The doctor talked that may i suffer from an herniated disc replacement surgery. It's terrible for me. I have still been doing physical therapy until now and i hope that i will manage my back pain.
I would have to disagree. Maybe in some cases, but in my case for instance I have stenosis real bad and the nerve canals are basically completely closing and squeezing nerves. So the only way to relieve this is to have it cleaned out and fused for stability. Inversion table absolutely destroys my back. I'm in so much pain when I get back up I can barely stand it.
This isn't helping but disabilitating!
sir m India m hi hu. lakin operation successful nhi hota h .is liye ruka hua h .mere Papa nhi karna chatye h.ap kaha se h sir. or apne kaha operation kiya tha
ohhh my god¡ is Robocop................
