Please keep doing more of these vlogs in surgery Dr. Webb, if you’re able to do so. I enjoy learning about the technical aspects of this specialty. Much love and great work to you and your team!
Had an L4-L5 fusion 3-years ago. The outcome was not what I had expected. Ended my career. Wish I had known you back then. You have such a gift and passion for healing others.
I got a few tears watching the C-arm near the end. I was an ER/OR X-ray tech for 25 years and I loved nothing better than to see the surgeon's work turning up in my X-rays. Once you got to know a surgeon you knew what views they wanted and it was exhilarating to be complemented on a job well done. I retired about 10 years ago but my pulse still rises when I hear an ambulance go by and wonder what the trauma is while champing at the bit and wishing I was there to help assess the patient and help in any way I could.
IM Hospitalist here. Good to learn about these surgeries. I'm medically treating some of these pts so it's nice to learn about the procedures occurring in the background. Made it simple for me to learn from. Interesting!
I operate the O-Arm for the hospital I work at, it still amazes me how CT images are able to be converted into live navigation for these kinds of surgeries.
the most inspirational thing is to watch your channel, it help me alot to withstand the medical school. unfortunately the war in Sudan 🇸🇩 stopped my journey. you inspired me alot ...
I had surgery to correct my scoliosis 2.5 years ago and this machine was used to aid my surgeon! Apparently the hospital where I had my surgery is the only one in South Africa to have an o-arm.
It's really amazing to see navigation now making it's way into orthopedic OR after being used extensively in Neurosurgeries. In neurosurgical cases we get the imaging CT Scan done a night before to be used for neuronavigtion in the morning but getting the intraoperative CT done to minimize time lag and shifting of tissues from different positioning is really great.
New Subscriber Dr. Webb, first off THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, I have had a severve back problem for the past 10 years, I have put off surgery for a lamenictomy and discetomy S1 to L3 but the pain has become worse, I am now disabled and a senior citizen who should have got this surgery 10 yeqars ago, because of your channel I will make this change and look to getting this surgery before December, my left leg and limbs have become numb as a result of this nerve compression.
Hello doctor Webb, I'm a 36 years old Nigerian male, sometimes in june 2021, i slipped and fell hitting my lower waist on the wall and ever since then, i have not been myself. It's been one pain or the other. There are days i can't sit for more than 30 mins. Whats worst if i think resting on my back for a long time will relieve me of pain, it's almost as of it make it worse. Around here, its rear to come by quality health facility where i can get treated and if there's any, im not financially capable to foot the bills. I might be needing this procedure you've just carried out here and i don't how i can get treated. I'm ready to offer myself to be practiced upon if possible. I'm afraid if i don't get the required help i need now, it might become worst for me to keep living with pain if i get to live a longer life.
Confused. Disc stays in? Is the spinous process completely taken off? Is the bone graft material going to turn into the equivalent of the job the spinous process does?
I’m dealing with lower back pain my self but mostly one side and I was just diagnosed with degenerative disc changes on all lumbar levels hurts every day some days worse than others I’m only 27 😢
Forgive my ignorance please, but do patients retain some lumbar mobility after the surgery? Not in the sense that the screws will, obviously, shift position slightly due to ossification, but as in movement initiated by skeletal voluntary muscles? I understand the trade-offs of course; having limited mobility but no chronic pain is a trade I'll gladly accept.
as someone that started to have back pain a year ago and from the CT scans ive made there wasnt any major discovery that explains my simptoms do you think i should get an MRI ? Also would love a video on general exercises that you recommend that would promote a healthier spine. Great video
What's good Dr. Webb! Another one...In my DJ Khaled voice Thank you for sharing another successful surgery to help up the quality of someone's life. I can't say it enough, how I think it's awesome that you are able to make such a difference in someone's life. I appreciate all that you do for the community and all that you do to educate the youth. You're the dopest doc👊🏽 And as usual, be well, be safe and Peace & Blessings🙏🏽
If you creat a super innovative way of performing a surgery (no new instruments, just a new technique/manipulation) how would you go about patenting it so people recognize you came up with the idea and can call it for example: “the Webb”?
I have been talking with surgeons over the past 10+ years, and they say going in through the front is a lot easier. But when I talk with a person that had back surgery through the front, they said the recovery time was weeks, and the first week was painful due to muscles were cut. I had a fusion on L5-S1 with 2 round type cages, I went in at 07:00 Monday, in my room and awake at 12:40, and home the next day, about noon. Had dinner and watched TV, The following Monday I was back to work, on my feet all day. I think the front is easier for the surgeon but worse recovery for the patient. What is your thoughts?
@@soloban81 I hear that. Everyone I've talked with, that had lower back surgery, going in the front, told me the same thing, painful for a week or more, and weeks of recovery before normal. Like I said, went in on Monday, home Tuesday, driving to the boat the rest of the week, and back to work the next Monday just 7 days and over the counter pain meds. However, 4 to 5 months later, the pain came back due to scar tissue growing into S1, S2. The past 15 years with pain management. With that, I am still with FD, and USCG at 74 years of age.
During the surgery a sales rep is there representing whichever company’s screws/implants the doc is using, p much to recommend products that fit the needs of that surgery and get feedback on the quality of their products

In medicine and in technology, never.

that c-arm is made by GE OEC. 9800 with monitors upgraded. I worked for OEC for 20 years. it is so happy to see the C-arm working in OR.
Its cool how you use your mind and hands and tools to take peoples pain away....very admirable.
I absolutely ❤ Dr. Webb! He's so smart and gives me such pride!✊🏽
I shadowed an orthopedic spine surgeon today and scrubbed into a TLIF where 3D computer navigation was used. Super cool technology!

Don’t give up brother. Ask Christ Jesus for help. He will guide you.
My man! Awesome job! I got my spinal cord stimulator (patch job) so i can finish school. I'm moving to Houston soon...you may be seeing me!
I have gone through 4 spinal fusion surgery and it’s not easy seeing this gives me goosebumps
Having this done in about 3 weeks! Thanks for the info!!
I had surgery to correct my scoliosis 2.5 years ago and this machine was used to aid my surgeon! Apparently the hospital where I had my surgery is the only one in South Africa to have an o-arm.
I keep on being motivated anytime I come across any of your video. Thanks role model. Medic from Nigeria 🇳🇬
What’s up doctor Webb, going to school to be a PA specializing in surgery. Love what you do! Keeps me motivated.
I’ve had this same operation in South Africa
I’m still only 70% okay
Anyway
I’m good
Been 25 years already
Glad I did it
🤷

Nice case, seamless workflow. I work for Medtronic navigation in Florida. Really cool to see you utilizing our technology on UA-cam!
Much appreciated!
Super interesting and informative. No wonder it takes so many years to become a neurosurgeon.
He’s not a neurosurgeon
This guy is amazing I been watching you since you were training and to see how far you've come is very inspiring

Welcome!!
im in high school and youre really motivating me to go into medicine
I love these OR walkthroughs at my hospital we don’t have much spine cases. They are super awesome to watch from a X-ray tech point of view!
Awesome
Glad that you liked it! Will try to shoot more!
the good doctors are always nice
you know it's a serious surgery when the Dr. shows up to the OR in a bulletproof vest
Really nice video on how you take care of patients.
I enjoyed the video. Shout out to the Surgical Tech!
Awesome! Thank you!
That’s so much of a technical work. I keep getting amazed by your work as a premed myself. Thanks for the education and inspiration.
Much appreciated!
Love seeing these surgeries.
So impressive. Thank you for what you and your team do!
Thanks for watching!
I love watching your videos. I'm budding orthopaedic resident from india.
What a lovely lovely guy, God bless you my friend
You are so kind
Your videos are very educational! Outstanding work Dr. Webb!
Truly mesmerizing, great work! 🙏
Appreciate it!
Wow this is crazy to see what it takes to conduct a spine surgery
The Doctor of motivation! Yessssiirr
Great video Dr. Webb.
Thank you kindly
Thank you for this!! Really enjoyed this. I'm applying to the Surgery Department in my country. Great motivation! That technology is awesome!!
Awesome!
Wow so nice Dr webb
This ain't the best medical advice, but I just love to sit back, smoke a bowl, or two, and have a glass of red wine and watch these videos.
😂
That's unbelievable! Amazing Job!
Thank you very much!
dr webb, what you do is way more important than what athletes do
Thanks for doing these videos.,.
Your an angel. GOD bless.
Very thorough and informative video. Nicely done.
Glad you liked it!
God bless you sir 🙏
Very interesting and educational channel . And I sterilized all the instruments you using☺️
Funny enough, I shadowed nearly the exact same procedure a few days ago. The only difference was the screws were aligns with a robotic arm.
I'm surprised you entered the hallway and didn't have to at least glove-over again when you re-entered the surgical suite

I think you should use a cage with bone graft for fusion for better results.
Not every fusion needs an interbody
This is amazing to me.
Great work! Do you worry about the tall/mobile disc? Why not TLIF to add fusion surface and provide anterior column support? Great content!
Every fusion does not need an interbody. There are specific indications that I use an interbody for
@@antoniowebbmd I understand, and that's what I am asking you....
My question is when you do long surgeries do you go to the bathroom if you have to?
Forgive my ignorance please, but do patients retain some lumbar mobility after the surgery? Not in the sense that the screws will, obviously, shift position slightly due to ossification, but as in movement initiated by skeletal voluntary muscles? I understand the trade-offs of course; having limited mobility but no chronic pain is a trade I'll gladly accept.
That was so cool -- will you be doing any lumbar disc replacements? I'm very interested in that, for personal reasons.
Yes I do lumbar disc replacements
Great vid doc 👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed
Thank you
You're welcome
I wish you can offer your services in Nigeria. There are few orthopedic spine surgeons
Keep it up champ!
as someone that started to have back pain a year ago and from the CT scans ive made there wasnt any major discovery that explains my simptoms do you think i should get an MRI ? Also would love a video on general exercises that you recommend that would promote a healthier spine. Great video
Do you use the ultrasonic tool for cutting bone etc. Good job.
Great video! What’s the background music called?
Is there no guidewire and cannulated screws with this guidance system?

Dr Webb looks like a platoon sergeant with thermal sights

Step 1: Get a good patent lawyer and then don’t put it on UA-cam 😂
Can you pls send your music playlist

Easier for both the patient and surgeon
We don’t cut any muscles going though the front. We just move them out the way
I had a L5 and L4 level ALIF. The Ab pain afterwards sure makes you sympathetic for your spouse that went through a couple c-sections 😂

I love the videos, but how come I have to wear a beard net to make food but you can do spinal surgery without a bear net lol
Great.
I want to fulfil my parents dream of become a heart ❤ surgeon or an orthopedist.
That is how they did my l4 l5: fusion
🙏🇧🇷 Parabéns
Thank you!
What kinda scrub is that, Doc??😂😂
what a chad!
He’s going to sell that soft tissue 😂😂😂😂
Man how did you know!!!?
Radiologic Technologist, not Xray technician.
Sales rep?
During the surgery a sales rep is there representing whichever company’s screws/implants the doc is using, p much to recommend products that fit the needs of that surgery and get feedback on the quality of their products
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍
Doc, what's a good wattsapp contact for u?
🐐
🙏🏾
All this technology; yet, still so primitive.
Surgeons/surgery make other fields of medicine/specialialities lame 😅
😂😎
@thembanimgenu190 sounds like you are very experienced in the various medical specialties 😅
Nice work doctor 💊.
Appreciated
Do you have to change gloves upon returning to sterile OR when you leave for X-ray 🩻
Yes and gown
How much does this surgery cast ????
