    I’m so very grateful to orthopedic surgeons for all they’ve done for me, I’ve had 5 spinal surgeries 4 in the lumbar sacral area ( 2 fusions in that area). And on my cervical spine ( neck fused c-3 -c6 ) had two vertebrae removed and 3 discs removed, it saved me from being paralyzed from the chest down.
    Most likely will have to have more surgery in the thoracic part of my spine.
    The longest surgery was over 11 hours.
    I’m most thankful there are people like you that have dedicated their lives to help us.

    I had an anterial cervical decompression fusion done at C3/4 2012 and an anterial lumbar interbody fusion on L4/5 2016, my the neck was a walk on the park compared to the lumbar because of going thru the front, I was so sore for a good 6 weeks after my lumbar but neck I walked in Friday and walked out Sunday, couldn't drive but they had to re align my neck it was so screwed up, I have no nerve pain now but I do have weakness and drop a lot of things if I don't concentrate, that's just from years of compression... I have more surgeries to go in the years to come due to the discs degenerating but I'm not worried and am prepared because I know what I'm going into. I appreciate every surgeon in their field and thank Christ that we have them for these delicate surgeries. Thank you from NSW Australia for what you & all surgeons do, it isn't easy but you still do it. 🙏👌

    Very interesting video! How many levels were corrected during this surgery? I’ve had 10 spine surgeries. The first fusion L-3, L-4, L-5, S-1, failed. It took many years to find a surgeon willing to accept me as a patient. By the time I did find a surgeon, I developed adult onset scoliosis!!! My pain is now fairly under control but I have the same bent over situation as this patient. I’ve been wondering if I should/could get this corrected.

      The Pearl Harbor attack actually contributed to advances in spine surgery / fusion. So many people injured their backs in the attack or during the clean-up, salvage and repair activities, that an Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr Cloward, developed procedures and also developed many special instruments just for improving spine surgery--i.e., the "Cloward Saddle" etc. Google Dr Cloward and check out his company's web page.

      A lot of really atrocious experiments were performed on live humans during World War Two, and even after on prisoners of war, as well as a lot of awful experiments/research done on people of colour as they had minimal, if any rights to consent to or object back in the day. These experiments contributed majorly to our understanding of the human body and physiology but was obviously inhumane and awful and it is why we have such strict laws now regarding clinical trials, mammal trials ect.

    Thanks for taking us along, really interesting. My cousin recently had spine surgery in boston, not nearly as extensive. Are you the primary surgeon or do you assist the attending?

    Interesting note, it's usually ice cold in OR. But once you get started you don't notice it.

    My friend was the first in my city to have a rod placed in her spine by a similar or same device. She has scoliosis. I remember it because she took time away from high school for it.
